It was during the spring and summer of 2024 that several break-ins occurred at eleven of Systembolaget's stores around the country.

In the investigation, the suspects were tracked down when some of them were investigated for several car thefts in the million-class on the West Coast and a robbery against a food store. Both patterns and time could be linked to the break-ins.

Above all, it is positioning that has enabled us to link them to the various crimes, says senior prosecutor Sofia Seijsing to the radio channel.

They are also suspected of several other break-ins. The total value of the stolen goods amounts to nearly 10 million kronor.

Three of the men are detained for, among other things, gross theft.

The indictment is expected to come in April. All of them deny the crimes.
