Police were involved in a multi-agency operation targeting Hells Angels facilities in central Åkarp on Monday, February 23, 2026. The operation took place around lunchtime at the motorcycle club's premises in the town located outside Malmö.
According to police spokesperson Evelina Olsson of the Skåne Police, "It is a multi-agency operation where we are assisting." However, authorities have declined to specify which agency made the decision to conduct the raid or provide further details about the operation's purpose.
It is a multi-agency operation where we are assisting.
Similar operations have been conducted in Malmö under the "Tryggare Malmö" (Safer Malmö) initiative, which involves collaboration between municipal authorities, emergency services, the Swedish Tax Agency, and the Swedish Enforcement Authority. The Åkarp operation appears to follow this pattern of inter-agency cooperation targeting organized crime groups.
Both Expressen and SVT Skåne reported on the incident, with initial reports emerging shortly after the operation occurred. The exact nature of the operation and any findings or arrests made during the raid remain undisclosed by authorities.
