A 16-year-old boy was apprehended by police in Luleå with nearly 100 grams of amphetamine and 3,000 kronor in cash, according to reports. A man in his 20s is now charged with involving a minor in criminal activity in connection with the incident. The man has been in custody since early February, suspected of drug offenses and involving an underage person in criminal activity.
According to Norrländska Socialdemokraten, three individuals were arrested in late January after their suspected drug dealings were uncovered. The arrests included the 16-year-old boy and two men in their 20s. The suspects reportedly admit to the crimes to some extent.
The case highlights concerns about minors being drawn into criminal activities in the region.
