The “Sam” grocer was selling drugs as a 16-year-old: “There is a huge demand”

"Sam", which is really something else, says that he did not see himself as a taller the first time he tried to sell.

- I saw every extra money as a bonus, in the end I realized that I could make a lot of money from it, he says in the program.

Freddy Nilsson, municipal police in Malmö, says that younger people are selling drugs.

- Selling drugs is creeping down the age. The majority of those selling are 15-25 years. But there is a strong concern that there is a tendency for these people to become younger.

But it also happens that children come into contact with drugs.

- Many sellers use children as running boys or use them in the system in other ways.

What are you doing within the police to stop the sale of drugs?

- We work, among other things, against the open drug trade on the streets, both civilian and in uniform. We use camera surveillance, work to prevent young people from coming into contact with drugs and work to stop distributors.
