Swedish authorities conducted a large-scale operation in Stockholm targeting organized gang activity, as reported by Reuters. The operation involved over 200 police officers and focused on disrupting drug trafficking and related crimes in the city’s southern districts. Police arrested 15 individuals suspected of involvement in gang networks, seizing approximately 10 kilograms of narcotics and 5 million Swedish kronor (about $470,000 USD) in cash. The operation also led to the confiscation of several firearms and vehicles linked to criminal activities. Authorities stated that the effort was part of a broader strategy to address rising gang-related incidents, with a 10% increase in such cases noted in Stockholm over the past year. The suspects are currently under investigation for charges including drug distribution and illegal weapons possession, with court proceedings expected to begin in June 2025. This operation marks one of the largest coordinated efforts by Swedish police in 2025 to curb organized crime.
