On Monday evening, the maritime police were called to Möja in Värmdö municipality. The reason was an alarm from the commander of a vessel belonging to Vaxholmsbolaget. He had seen one or more individuals pointing at something that looked like a weapon at the boat, according to Mitt i.
The incident occurred at Berg's jetty shortly after passengers had disembarked. According to the captain of M/S Draken, two individuals stood on a private jetty and pointed an object that was perceived as a rifle at the vessel.
"The crew experienced the situation as unpleasant, but no one was physically injured," says Andreas Strömberg, press officer at Region Stockholm, to the newspaper.
For the rest of the evening, departures to Berg's jetty were cancelled for safety reasons. Traffic returned to normal on Tuesday.
Police investigated a property in the area. An air rifle was found in a boathouse in the area. At present, no one has been arrested in the case, and the captain is the only witness.
