After a woman had gone shopping in a store in central Hudiksvall, she was pulled away from her hand by a bag. The incident is said to have occurred outside the store and according to the woman, who is in her 80s, it was several young people who then ran from the scene.
A short while later, a police patrol found five young people who matched the description. Four of them, three boys and a 15-17-year-old girl, were arrested on suspicion of serious theft.
