Expressen tells that in the evening of 5th July, unknown intruders broke into the area of Haga Palace. First a surveillance camera was massacred. Then the unknown intruder came into the fenced area of the castle, where crown princess Victoria lives with her family.
Police headlines the event as vandalism and trespassing.
The time 23:08 a surveillance camera recorded how an unknown person got help from another person to climb up on the high fence which is enclosing the Haga Palace and is marked with "protected". After knocking down the camera with a weapon person jumped over the fence and into the Palace area.
There an object was picked up from the ground. The mysterious intrusion was guarded by another persons, who were just outside the fenced area. After the intrusion the people left the place "in the direction towards the city," as it says in the police report.
First, the following morning, on July 6, discovered the palace guard that the surveillance camera and the associated motion detector was destroyed. However, no alarm had rung. The castle guard alerted immediately to the police, but was reticent when Expressen calls about the incident. The guard didn't want to speak about it, everything should go through the court press department.
According to the police report the palace guard went through the film material from the surveillance camera after the intrusion, "the two culprits together destroyed the equipment while another persons looked at."
According to Margareta Thorgren, Crown Princess Victoria had no official programs planned during the current weekend, 5-6 July.
- The court may confirm that a complaint has been made to the police in accordance with established safety procedures. Other questions on the matter should be referred to the Security Service responsible for the protection of the crown princess couple. The crown princess with family was at the time on a private holiday.
To this day it is unclear who the intruder is because it has not been possible to determine the identity from the film material.
