Stockholm police are investigating possible connections between five recent shootings that have resulted in four deaths, according to Swedish public broadcaster SVT. Three of the violent incidents occurred in the Stockholm area: in Vårby, Solna, and Tyresö. Police are conducting an intensive investigation to determine if the events are linked, with a focus on digital evidence.
Deputy police area chief Magnus Mowitz stated that there are many digital traces to go through, which will take time before more information is available. Mowitz noted that crimes being ordered by criminals and carried out by young, previously unconvicted individuals in exchange for money has become more common, sometimes arranged through apps. Several of the suspects and victims in the recent incidents are reportedly youths.
