Police arrived at a house in Sibeliustraat to deal with the situation of the caretaker, which is illegal.
The information received is that a woman took care of a sick older man, whose condition worsened and had to be transported to Colombia to receive further treatment. A sibling of the caretaker accompanied the older man to Colombia without his family knowing.
