One of the Police Authority’s service weapons has disappeared and is now believed to be circulating in the criminal environment. Information to Aftonbladet suggests that the weapon may have been linked to at least two shootings.

It was after an emergency response to a residential area north of Stockholm that the police made a discovery that has caused extensive concern internally. Two youths behaving suspiciously in the area and attempting to enter a building were stopped by the patrol.

During the check, drugs were discovered – but it was the content of one of the confiscated mobile phones that was crucial. A video showed one of the teenagers posing with a pistol belonging to the Police Authority.

At the same time, there is a report of a missing service weapon within the police. The police suspect that the weapon has been used in at least two shootings and has not yet been recovered.
