A drunken man in his 70s broke into a strange family in Ulricehamn, reports Gothenburg Post.
Then he staggered upstairs, locked himself in and turned on the TV.
– He thinks he lives there. He goes up a flight of stairs and locks himself in a room and watches TV, says Caroline Karlsson, police spokesperson to GP.
The family tried to get the man to leave the home, but he refused.
– There will be a small fight, but the man is otherwise not violent. They hold him down and he tries to break free but he can’t. The police come and he is taken into custody, says Caroline Karlsson.
The man is suspected of trespassing.

The killer whale that was found dead in Hunnebostrand on Thursday has been transported to a recycling center in Lysekil where it is now being autopsied, reports Bohusläningen.
The reason the almost three-ton whale turned up at a recycling center is because it is too big for other businesses.
– It has very worn teeth and has probably had pain and difficulty finding food, Norbert van de Velde tells the newspaper.
It is still unclear what happens to the orca after the autopsy.

At Kolmården, all visitors who were in the gondolas had to be collected when the cable car started again.

What happened to the elderly man who refused to move his car after having his tires punctured by mats of nails last winter?
Anna
Hi Anna!
The last I read about him was in The Wermlands newspaper in November.
Then he would buy a new car after living in the old one for two weeks. He then said that he intended to lift the broken car into the air and leave it at the scene.
He also told us at Aftonbladet that he would register the old car at the National Police Board.

Hello! According to the organization Keep Sweden Clean, it takes approximately 1-5 years for a discarded cigarette butt to decompose into microplastic.
“Microplastic can take 100 years before it disappears, if it even does,” they also write.
Why is only one of the spy brothers named and pictured?
Maddie
Hello! Both are named in the article. Why we only have one picture of Payam Kia is because the article is about him.

Hello, May 17th today. Does it show on the editorial staff’s lunch boxes?
Magnus
It’s not lunch yet, but haven’t heard anything about the May 17 special in the lunchbox yet. Norwegians eat an average of four sausages per person on May 17, according to a press release from SAS . So if you want to pay tribute to Norway, a sausage with bread can be a suitable way!
