According to the police, there are several cases in Malmö of shops that have been exposed to gang criminals.

- We have had a store in central Malmö that was more or less hijacked by gang criminals. They took over the entire business and both threatened and abused the shop owner's family, says Jens af Forselles, who is a group manager in the local police area Malmö north.

Some stores are used as hiding places for drugs, so the criminals have nothing to wear when the police check them.

- In some places in Malmö we have a more or less open drug trade. Those people do not want to be put on drugs, then it happens that they go into the stores and hide the drug there until we leave the place, says Jens af Forselles.
