A tourist went to the police on Hverfisgatu because he thought his passport had been stolen at Skógafoss.
This is stated in the diary of the police in the capital area, but it was reported yesterday that pickpocketing had recently increased in the South. Some groups come to the country for the sole purpose of pickpocketing.
In addition to this, the police in the capital area had plenty of tasks to carry out today. One was arrested in Hlíðunur for possession of drugs and he was released after the hearing.
The police then received two reports of traffic accidents, one in Hlíðunur where a car was driven into the road, and the other in Mosfellsbær where a car was hit. No one was injured in the accidents.
In Árbæn, the police responded to a report of burglary and theft. The case remains under investigation.
Although several drivers were then stopped either for driving too fast or suspected of driving under the influence. One of them drove at 66 on a street where the maximum speed is thirty and the case was settled with a temporary suspension of driving privileges.
