It was during a fire in a building in Lövånger over the weekend that large quantities of tobacco were found. According to an informant to SVT Västerbotten it was a matter of a "complete cigarette factory".
"It's about tobacco products to a value of many millions of kronor. It's such large quantities that it's a matter of serious crimes and means large sums in tax losses", said public prosecutor Andreas Bogseth at the Economic Crime Authority in Umeå, in a press release on Wednesday.
Three men were arrested on Thursday suspected of being involved in the cigarette affair. In addition, a fourth person has been requested to be arrested in their absence, reports Norran.
