Teen Sentenced for Smuggling Weapons Over Öresund Bridge in Taxi

A lone 15-year-old who took a taxi over the Öresund Bridge in November last year caught the attention of customs personnel. His luggage turned out to be filled with sharp weapons, which he had picked up in Copenhagen.

Now the boy, together with a 21-year-old man from Blekinge, has been sentenced by the court of appeal for extremely serious arms smuggling, reports Blekinge Läns Tidning.

In the boy's bags, customs personnel found a live semi-automatic pistol, a revolver, a sawed-off so-called pump shotgun, a fully automatic submachine gun with accompanying magazines, two automatic carbines and also a hand grenade.

The boy, who lived in an HVB home, has been sentenced to one year of closed youth care and the 21-year-old to eight years in prison.
