So far this year, just over two tonnes of narcotics have been seized in the Swedish customs controls.
But according to the authority, it is only a small percentage of all narcotics that have been smuggled into Sweden.
- We are simply not enough, says Oscar Lindvall, deputy head of control at Customs South.
Sweden's Finance Minister Mikael Damberg (S) signs that more customs officials are needed.
This year alone, the authority will get 100 new employees, according to Damberg.
Do you think that will be enough?
- There are 100 this year.
It is clear that this is a build-up that needs to happen over time.
But it is also important to continue to strengthen the cooperation of the police and customs, because both of them have powers to work both against smuggling and against crime and gang criminals.
Even the Moderates believe that customs need to be strengthened, emphasizes the party's legal policy spokesperson Johan Forssell.
- It is much easier to stop weapons and drugs already at the border than when they have reached our cities.
Then it is about the fact that we need more customs officers, but also that the entire crime-fighting work must be prioritized.
We need new and sharper legislation so that customs can stop all this from entering Sweden, he says.
