On Tuesday, a hunt was carried out for a stolen jet ski in Mariefred.
A resident of Mariefred had called the police and reported that there had been a burglary in the garage and that a jet ski had been stolen.
Fortunately, there was a tracking device on the vehicle that made it possible to follow the theft route – along the E4 towards Södertälje.
The police stopped a car with the jet ski on a trailer near Nykvarn and seized the jet ski.
The driver was detained and suspected of grand theft.

A 35-year-old woman on a bicycle was hit by a motorist in Sollentuna municipality at around 15:30.
The woman had to go by ambulance for a check-up.
The motorist is suspected of failing to observe the right of way and causing bodily harm.
Early on Tuesday, a North Korean soldier crossed the border into South Korea, Reuters reports.
The defection from North Korea took place through the military-monitored border in the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula.
The soldier was taken into custody by the South Korean military and questioned about the motives for the crossing.
According to the Yonhap news agency, the soldier must have been a staff sergeant.
Earlier in August, another North Korean resident crossed the border on the west coast.
Defection by crossing the border directly is unusual and considered particularly risky, reports Reuters.

99-year-old former Nazi secretary Irmgard Furchner on Tuesday lost an appeal against a previous conviction for aiding and abetting the murder of more than 10,000 people in concentration camps.
Furchner was given a two-year suspended sentence at the end of 2022, when she was deemed complicit in the “cruel and malicious murders” of inmates at the Nazi concentration camp Stutthof in then-occupied Poland.
A federal court in a final appeal denied her request to have the conviction overturned.
Furchner was the secretary and managed the correspondence from the camp between June 1943 and April 1945, under the direction of the camp commander Paul Werner Hoppe. Furchner’s husband was an SS officer at the camp. Thus, the court ruled, Furchner knew well what happened to the victims in the camp.

Ukraine’s parliament voted on Tuesday to ban Orthodox congregations in Ukraine that have ties to Russia. The decision was taken at the same time as Kiev cuts ties with religious, social and societal institutions and groups.
The decision specifically targets those parts of Ukraine’s Orthodox congregations that are considered to have very close ties to their counterparts in Moscow.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who must sign the parliamentary decision before it becomes law, welcomed the vote and wrote on social media that the government should “continue to strengthen Ukraine and our society”.
The patriarch of the Moscow Orthodox Church, in turn, condemned the “illegal” decision.
Ukraine began efforts to distance itself from Russian-controlled institutions even before the Russian invasion in 2022, but the work has since intensified.
A passenger car has collided with the central guardrail on the E4 in the southbound direction at the height of Örkelljunga.

Update 17:10:
The driver of the car is suspected of drunk driving, but is physically unharmed.
Recovery of the car is underway, and access to the site is limited.

The world’s oldest person has died. Maria Branyas Morera, born in the USA, has died in Spain after just over 117 years on earth.
“Maria Branyas has left us. She died as she had wished: in her sleep, peacefully and without pain,” her family wrote on social media.
Guinness World Records issued a certificate to Maria Branyas Morera as the world’s oldest living person last January. Then the world’s then oldest person, Lucile Randon from France, had died at the age of 118.
The world’s currently oldest living person is – as far as is known – the Japanese Tomiko Itooka. She was born in May 1908 and thus turned 116 this spring.
