The sales value is estimated at between SEK 33 and 35 million. The goods had arrived at the Port of Gothenburg from Bangladesh and were then transported on to the warehouse in Partille.
— There were almost 26,900 pieces of the same lace bra in one container, said the Lindex manager in questioning, according to GP.
Surveillance footage showed how the thieves picked up the containers by truck over two nights. Following tips from the public, the police found a large amount of stolen goods in a warehouse in Kållered a few days later.
It was then discovered that Ellos was also affected and that the total value of the goods amounted to SEK 39 million.
The theft investigations themselves are closed as no one can be linked to the crimes. The three men, who all deny any crime, are charged instead with aggravated robbery.
“This would probably be sold abroad,” says District Attorney Viktor Törneke to GP.
Two of the men are also charged with gross fraud, suspected of having stolen energy drinks worth SEK 810,000 from a company in Borås.
