Seven people have been arrested after the raids by the police in Sundsvall on Thursday evening.
The persons are suspected of, among other things, preparation for murder, serious weapons crime and serious drug crime, and according to the prosecutor, the arrest has prevented several violent crimes.
According to our information, several of the crimes that took place in Stockholm and around late Christmas are connected to a power struggle between criminals over the drug market in Sundsvall.
– Yesterday evening I arrested seven people, several of whom are suspected of, among other things, preparation for murder, serious weapons offences, serious drug offences, and preparation for public dangerous devastation as well as breach of the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods, a serious crime. The suspects will now be interrogated during the day, and technical investigations of crime scenes and other findings are underway, says Deputy Chief Prosecutor Karin Everitt at the Prosecutor’s Office in Sundsvall
