No room at the inn: all holding cells full
Posted by Max Naylor on Friday, June 04, 2010
An usually busy night was had by emergency services in the capital area last night, as all holding cells in the city’s police stations became completely full. Three men were arrested for vandalising a car with an axe, and it is suspected that they may have damaged up to eight cars in total. Two others are being held in a temporary cell after being caught breaking into and vandalising cars.

In addition, a woman is being held in a cell after running into two parked cars on Blesugróf in Reykjavík. According to the policemen on duty, she was heavily under the influence of drugs.

Three episodes of theft also occurred. Sex shop Adam og Eva on Hverfisgata was broken into “yet again” in the words of the officer on duty, however it seems that nothing has been taken. The second incident occurred when a storage unit of a company based in Kársnesbraut in Kópavogur, but there is no word as to exactly how much has been stolen. Finally, the coffee shop at the botanical gardens was robbed of a significant amount of beer. The theft is still under investigation.

The last two arrests were made as the police arrested a man for driving under the influence, and another for driving without a licence.

The capital area fire brigade was also involved in a heavy night last night, as they were called out to Maríuhellir in Heiðmörk at around 23:00, where a funeral pyre and been fuelled and ignited. The fire was extinguished quickly and easily, according to the firefighter on duty.
