The Stockholm police were alerted this morning about armed robberies in Uppland’s Väsby. The alarms came from two different pharmacies.
– Two masked perpetrators have threatened the staff with weapon-like objects. They then departed the scene with bags. The people must have disappeared on electric scooters, said Per Fahlström, the police’s press officer, during the day on Easter Eve.
Two teenagers were arrested
The robbery led to a large police operation. Several patrols and a helicopter took part in the operation in the center of Väsby.
The masked and armed robbers must have come across drugs and preparations classified as narcotics, according to what Aftonbladet learns.
The stolen goods were later found in connection with the arrest of the suspected robbers by the police.
The suspects are said to be two teenage boys.
Had “shopping list”
In connection with the arrest, the police also found two pistols. They were found during a house search that was carried out after the boys were arrested, according to information to Aftonbladet.
It was initially suspected that they were real guns, but after closer examination they turned out to be dummies.
One of the arrested boys also allegedly had a so-called “shopping list” on him, according to reports.
A list of which narcotic-classified products and preparations you should take from the pharmacy.
No one is said to have been physically injured during the pharmacy robbery.
Later on Easter Eve, one of the boys was released. The other was handed over to social services, according to information to Aftonbladet.
