The boy disappeared sometime between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Monday.
The police suspect that it is a case of kidnapping.
– It is within the framework of an ongoing preliminary investigation, so I cannot go into why it became a human trafficking case. But I can state that we received information that made us switch in that direction, says Fredrik Svedemyr to TT.
Three people have been arrested.
– I have no details about this at the moment. They are men of different ages, says Fredrik Svedemyr Alingsås Newspaper.
The boy has still not been found and the police have now launched a regional special event to secure resources and strengthen the search for him.
– We have a search underway and are working to identify different search areas. There is initially no concrete location, says Svedemyr to the newspaper.
The police are interested in tips and observations from the public.
