It started at half past three on Friday afternoon, when a police patrol drove past some people who were driving with a car on Brännkärrsgatan in Hofors. The patrol noticed that the people were trying to hide the car's registration plate when the police car passed, but had to see parts of the sign and got hit in the register of stolen vehicles.
Police gathered several patrols who went to the scene and found that the car, which was then driven into a garage, was very properly reported as stolen. When doing a house search at the address you found both explosive dough and a small amount of drugs.
The three men who were seen screwing in the stolen car were arrested on suspicion of car theft, or illegal use.
One of them is at the age of 42, the other at the age of 34. The elderly man is linked to the seizures and suspected of violating the Flammable and Explosive Goods Act, as well as drug offenses. One of the younger men also turned out to be wanted for a crime that took place within the Bergslagen police region.
