A man arrested during a raid in southern Stockholm.
On Tuesday morning, the police task force carried out several raids in Stockholm County.
Three men in the age group 25-30 were arrested for participating in an attempted murder of a young man in Järfälla this spring, according to information from Aftonbladet.
They are suspected of ordering the act and at the same time persuading a person to shoot the victim, according to the same information.
The Stockholm Police cannot comment further on the operation which is a “work of investigation”. In the morning, house searches were carried out at various addresses. Police were then seen leaving the scene with bags of evidence.

I shoot until the shots are over
The incident occurred at a bus stop in Viksjö municipality. The shooter opened fire on the young man and chased him for about ten meters.
The victim was shot multiple times in the stomach and legs, but is believed to have survived because the perpetrator’s ammunition ran out, says the Aftonbladet informant.
This morning’s arrest was part of the international police operation “Operation Robinson”, according to information from Aftonbladet. The case is led by Europol and Eurojust.
Earlier this year, French authorities succeeded in hacking the encrypted mobile service EncroChat, where, among other things, criminals could communicate without being eavesdropped.
In the spring, the Swedish police were able to participate in the very extensive material produced from the secret trafficking.
Suspicions against the three detainees are based on the fact that the police were able to read and monitor the chats, sources told Aftonbladet.
Several arrested after the hack
At the beginning of September, the police carried out two outstanding operations, which were also carried out thanks to the entry of European authorities into the service’s servers.
As recently as last week, several prominent individuals from the Vårbyn network were arrested. The gang, which includes a former member of the national team, are suspected of staging a murder, carrying out bombings and abducting a famous Swedish artist.
The leaders of the Södertälje network and several gang members were also arrested in another raid.
In addition to advances in previous investigations, it is said that the police were also able to stop and prevent future shootings and assassination attempts.
Some 800 Swedish criminals are said to have used the mobile service.
More arrests related to “Operation Robinson” are expected.
