Karlstad: Police in Sweden’s county of Värmland have asked citizens not to wear branded clothing or jewelry, but to dress in shabby clothes, in the wake of violent robberies in the county’s city of Karlstad.
According to global media reports, the Swedish police have instructed citizens not to wear branded clothes or expensive jewelry when going out due to the increase in robbery incidents in the city.
Apart from this, the security agency has also appealed to citizens to wear loose clothing while going out to ensure that they are not robbed. Local authorities have identified inner-city and suburban areas to avoid.
Karlstad District Police Crime Prevention Coordinator Tia Jelha said that wearing expensive items such as branded clothing or gold jewelry can have bad consequences. We are seeing that youths are selling items stolen from others.
On the other hand, national police chief Anders Thornburg warned that Swedish gangs are recruiting 1,000 new recruits a year and that the situation is only going to get worse, and authorities do not have the resources to deal with the rapidly growing threat of gang warfare across the country. are
