Last week, thieves broke into eleven parked cars along the E4, between Gränna and Nyköping. There are many indications that the same perpetrators are behind the thefts, police say.

"It seems to escalate and we suspect that these are the same people who are behind it," said Robert Nyström, an analyst at the Crime Coordination in the East region, on the police site.

Holiday packed cars

Mainly, cars with a lot of holiday gasket are exposed. Often a box at the back seat has been crushed and the car has been emptied of valuables. There are also cases where interference transmitters may have been used. The car owner then did not notice that the car was not locked when he pressed the lock button.

- We strongly suspect that the same person or persons will go back and forth between Gränna and Nyköping and make these crimes.

Black Saab

Police are interested in a black Saab seen in connection with the burglaries.

- Last Monday, a witness saw a black Saab Combi 9-5, not brand new but not very old either, which left Gränna, a petrol station at Brahehus where they had such a theft by car. The next day, the same car was observed in a similar case at Påljungshage north of Nyköping, says Robert Nyström.
