Police in Norrbotten conducted traffic controls on Sunday morning that resulted in four drivers being caught for various offenses, according to local media reports. The controls took place in multiple locations across the region, including Djuptjärn in Kalix municipality, Pajala, and Boden.
In Djuptjärn, a driver was fined for towing a trailer that was subject to a driving ban. In Pajala, police stopped a driver who tested positive in a breathalyzer test. The driver was taken for questioning and further testing, and is suspected of drunk driving.
The traffic controls reportedly uncovered serious traffic violations including reckless driving and drunk driving offenses. The incidents were reported by journalist Jonny Vikström and published simultaneously in Norrländska Socialdemokraten and Kuriren on March 1, 2026.
While both sources provide identical accounts of the incidents, no official police statement was immediately available to confirm the details. The reports indicate continued police efforts to enforce traffic laws in the Norrbotten region.
