New modus operandi in Sweden According to Per Klingvall, who is head of advice at the Theft Protection Association, the new burglary method is a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden. – WE have seen that this is an approach that has come to Sweden this year. It has occurred in Europe sometime before, and it is international theft leagues that bring this type of new mode with them, he says. But for that reason he sees no reason for increased concern. – The most important thing you can do to prevent this type of break-in is to make it look like you’re still at home, and that you also talk to your neighbors, help keep an eye out and help empty mailboxes , says Per Klingvall. – So I don’t think you should feel any particular concern about this type of break-in.
