Criminal conga

105 people were arrested at the Hulsfred festival in Sweden after 500 revellers started a conga through the camping area, and all have since been released without charge.

105 people were arrested in Hulsfred, Sweden, on Saturday when 500 festival goers started a 'Conga' through the festival's camping area. Security were called to disperse revellers at an after-festival party in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Ulf Karlsson of Kalmar District police said: "They ran round and destroyed fencing. There was a risk that both people and property would be damaged. We decided therefore to remove people in order to avert any further crime."

22-year-old partier Mattias Jansson said: "All we were doing is dancing and singing about love and freedom."

All of the 105 detainees have been released without charges.
