– Yes, the investigation, which is extensive, stretches from May this year until now when they were arrested, says Marlene Andersson Wikman, group manager in the police investigation section in Skaraborg, to Jönköpings-Posten.

The men, who are foreign nationals, were accidentally detained by the police in Skillingaryd. The men were later arrested and over the weekend, prosecutors will submit an arrest petition to the Skaraborg District Court, as several of the robberies have taken place there.

Disappears abroad

For several years, there have been extensive thefts of tools and saddles in Sweden. Police suspect that in many cases these are foreign leagues and that the stolen goods are taken out of the country.

Three years ago, we reported in SVT Jönköping about a saddle theft in Värnamo, where the victims a few hours later saw their saddles in a sales site In Poland.
