    Four men aged 20–35 have been arrested on suspicion of theft of expensive Audi RS4 and RS6 cars that were stolen in Båstad, Torekov and Halmstad during the summer. Several of the men are also believed to be involved in the theft of safes at Circle K in Båstad and a paint shop in Ängelholm, reports Laholm’s Newspaper.
