Police in Dalarna have urged owners of all-terrain vehicles to stay vigilant following a sharp increase in thefts over the past week.
The authority has recorded a clear rise in thefts of so-called ATVs in the county. Owners are advised to be especially careful if the vehicle has recently been listed for sale on advertising sites.
Mikael Hesselrud, crime prevention coordinator, writes that the crimes often occur in waves and that perpetrators move geographically. There is a risk that the crime wave will spread to neighboring counties.
