Postnord launched an internal investigation after receiving information that packages had been lost during transport, and all were linked to the same tarn road. Then the security department threw a trap to get on their feet before contacting the police.

Postnord bought mobile phones, turned on the GPS function, and then sent them with fake names. Then they followed the employee on his round. At a delivery point, a longer stop was made where the man must have left behind in the cargo space and stowed among the package cages, before one of the rigged packages was left at the specified location.

However, two packages followed the man into the terminal again. Once there, he was confronted by security staff and when he refused, he called one of the phones, which sounded from the cages he unloaded.

"Postnord sees it as a complete crime in that he, for no reason whatsoever, failed to deliver the mobile phones without taking them back to the terminal," reads the report.

Acknowledged later

In later interrogations, the man admitted to trying to steal the two phones he did not leave at the drop-off point.

- We are all human beings and can make mistakes. I was affected by dark and evil thoughts then and tried to take the packages but they still remain at the terminal, he says in a police interview.

However, he refuses to have stolen the previous 29 missing phones, worth a total of SEK 300,000.

- I understand, but I have nothing to do with it.

The man is now being charged with gross theft.
