Several Volvo owners in Uppsala had their headlights stolen during the night to Saturday. Police are now urging car owners to stay vigilant after receiving three reports early Saturday morning.
According to police, the perpetrators likely used electric scooters to approach the vehicles. They then broke open the hoods and cut the electronics before the lights were transported away by a vehicle parked nearby.
Police note that similar thefts affected many Volvo owners in the county last year. Car owners are now advised to park in well-lit places with good visibility or in locked garages to reduce the risk.
Anyone who notices suspicious behavior, such as people on electric scooters around parking areas or traffic to and from transport vehicles, is urged to contact police on 114 14 or 112 if a crime is in progress.
