An unusual robbery committed a few days ago, where the two big boys in one of the most deprived ghettos in Stockholm stole something pastry, has now become one of Sweden’s most talked about stories.
The two young men pulled namely weapons, as the staff at a store in the Kista Galleria tried to stop them.
The unusual story was the straw that got the cup to overflow for the local police Christoffer Boman, who subsequently put a desperate plea out on Polisen in Rinkebys Facebook, where he is sounding the alarm and among other things, in a video clip saying the following:
‘we Understand at all, how sick is the behavior? Or have we become too accustomed to the violence that has happened in recent years?’, ask the acting chief of police in Järva in a recording, that is posted on Facebook.
It writes multiple media including SVT on the unusual cry for help from the police, which has been viewed more than 1 million times.
‘This is an event that is an example of it gone wrong in far too long. I feel that the young men have gone totally wild in their relationships to others, in the macho-culture and in their own fear. And when you link it together with the fact that they have weapons, so they become extremely dangerous’, says police chief Christopher Boman.

the police chief calls in addition, the entire Swedish population to recognize that all of us must step forward and help, if something has to be done by the extensive våbenkriminalitet, as the police often encounter. He believes namely, that there are not enough police officers in Sweden.
‘In the police we use the enormous resources and tremendous effort to handle their lack of capability in relationships and the conflicts that arise in this context. But we are not enough’.
‘If we seriously believe that we will have a stop for the shootings, we must all help to. We need you now’.
Politichefens cry for help has gone viral, and most swedes agree that something must be done by the many shootings and the many weapons that are in the criminal environments in Sweden.
police commissioner meetings, however, also criticism for his lookup because many see it as an indictment of the Swedish police. The well-known Swedish commentator Jenny Sonesson commented f.ex. the video is as follows:
‘See this movie, which is a plea from the police in Rinkeby. Voldsmonopolet asking for help. They can not deal with armed young men. If you pull a weapon, because you have been caught stealing a pastry, what would you not do for some years? I am becoming more and more upset, when I think of the future. The Sweden I grew up in no longer exists’.
When the theft of the pastry may evolve to draw the weapon, then you have crossed a boundary. (Photo: Shutterstock)
