A 28-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man are charged with pretending to be police officers, writes South Sweden.
It was in November that the couple approached a man and did a body search. They allegedly asked if he had anything sharp on him and then forced him up against a fence.
Afterwards, the woman said that “he is green”.
The man who was searched is said to have been scared because the couple said the dog they had with them was not properly trained yet.
On the other side of the street, however, there were real civil police officers and police aspirants, watching the whole thing. They intervened, showed police uniforms and asked what had happened.
The couple was arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery.
Both suspects are now charged with impersonation of a public position. Both deny wrongdoing.

“Dear progressive liberal media and opposition, I apologize for surviving but I’m back,” Fico wrote on Facebook, posting a picture of himself in his office.

Is there no positive, fun or sunny news?

Of course there is!
Here you can read about Vanessa Kamga who broke a new Swedish record.
Here you can read about Jonna Jumisko who, after living a double life, is now “100% Jonna”.
Here you can come along to the Summer Meet in Västerås and see what the motorfest has to offer.
Which electoral system is the most fair, our Swedish, the English, the USA or the French. Got curious in these times.
Bengt Gustavsson
Good question Bengt! And it’s probably not something I can answer, but a big difference between Sweden and the USA is that election day here is always a holiday, which at least makes it possible for more people to vote without having to take time off (if you don’t vote early then).
Why do you only answer ridiculous questions about pacifiers and sports, while respectfully dissing heavy topics that may be a bit sensitive and difficult to answer? 😡
Lars
Hey Lars!
I wouldn’t say we do, and when it came to the issue of pacifiers, it was a recall. So quite important information for parents.
Then it is not always the case that we can let all questions go through, e.g. those that contain serious violations or name publications that we ourselves have not made.
