“We know who it is”
“Nug” is also a well known name with the police graffiti group. But even though it knows his real identity, they have not been able to tie him to any crime.
- We know who it is, I have known him since 2001. He is present at least four occasions, but he is not convicted of anything yet. On Monday, I will go through all the files and watch what is done to the person not been tried during this time, “says Dan Östman, head of the graffiti unit of the Stockholm police.

- It is not the right method. We have no plans to change the allocation. But I think it is deplorable that and waiting for school to come with a reasonable explanation, “he says.
