The man, who is in his forties, was arrested yesterday and is suspected of serious drug smuggling.
What kind of drug was that?
- It is one of the heavier drugs we have taken, but exactly which I do not want to go into. But I can say for sure that the degree of suspicion will be adjusted now in the future, to extremely serious drug smuggling, says Pehr Hagenklev.
He also does not want to state what quantities it is about.
"Part of something bigger"Do you suspect that the man is part of a major league?
- It is too early to say, but it is a large amount of drugs, so it is clear that he is part of something bigger. I think so, yes.
It's not that often you make such big fittings?
- No, it is not.
The man came with a ferry from Fredrikshamn, which arrived at the German terminal. He was alone in the car and got stuck in a regular routine check, where the drug dog marked. The car was then taken aside.
The dog got an extra pat afterwards?
- Yes, haha. It is actually really fun when such fittings happen in that flow. It's about being in the right place at the right time.
