It was at four o'clock in the morning that one or more thieves broke open the gate of a hardware store in Arboga.

The police are currently investigating aggravated theft but have no suspected or estimated number of perpetrators.

- A technical investigation will be carried out so we can see what we land in, says Petra Blomqvist at the police.

Several thefts recently

The police have had an unusual number of thefts to deal with recently.

- If they have any connection with each other, I do not know.

I should not call it a wave of burglary but it has been a lot lately.

How many can I not go into, says Petra Blomqvist, press spokesperson at police region Mitt.
