The police found a drug hideout and a pistol in a lunch box in a forest grove in Norrliden in Kalmar last year.

Then they chose to scout the place, which led to two men, today 18 and 21 years old, being arrested.

In the district court, one of the men was sentenced to closed youth care for one year and four months, the other to imprisonment for four years and eight months.

Now the case is up in the Court of Appeal and the new prosecutor has new evidence - which can lead to more severe punishments.

Among other things, the police have found more pictures in the younger man's phone - among other things on a "huge bundle of 500 notes", according to the prosecutor.

Connected to previous shootings

In addition, the weapon has been test-fired again by the National Forensic Center, something that P4 Kalmar was the first to tell.

The survey shows that both bullets and shells can be linked to a shooting at a property in Växjö in the summer of 2018. Shells can also be linked to a shooting in Kalmar in September last year, when a teenager was shot in the leg next to a preschool.

However, it is still not clear who was holding the weapons on these occasions.

All in all, prosecutor Kjell Jannesson is demanding a harsher punishment.

- I will use this to show that the crimes are part of organized crime, he says.
