The suspect, a 25-year-old man, had permission from the owner to be in the house. The man was arrested for damage to and in the house. During the arrest, officers were insulted and threatened.

Violence against police officers
The police consider aggression and violence against their staff and other emergency workers unacceptable. Physical violence, threats, assault, or insults against staff are not tolerated. Incidents where police officers are victims of aggression or violence are given high priority. Police and justice apply the same approach: reports are always recorded, perpetrators are prioritized by the Public Prosecution Service to be brought before the court, and triple the usual penalty is demanded against perpetrators.
