- We have never experienced anything like this at the city mission and it is deeply regrettable.

This is a year when many private individuals and companies give us gifts, then some people choose to abuse the trust in this way, says Staffan Arvas who is associate director at Stockholm City Mission.

Stockholm's city mission discovered the thefts in an internal investigation, but does not want to state how many goods or to what extent it has been stolen.

However, it must be a significant amount.

Permanent employees, hourly employees and people in job training work at the central warehouse.
