A 17-year-old boy in Umeå has been sentenced to community service for drug offenses. He made the mistake of trying to sell cocaine to the police's head of investigations, who was dressed in civilian clothes at the time, reports P4 Västerbotten.
He pulls out a bag with white powder in it. It becomes a bit of a comedic situation, so I play along and ask a few questions about the price and so on, says head of investigations Thomas Palmgren.
According to Palmgren, the boy likely did not act alone.
Those higher up in the hierarchy exploit them. They make sure to have a filter between themselves and the criminal act, he says.
