A search of two stores in Solna and Sundbyberg was carried out last week.
The stores in question are suspected of selling, among other things, e-cigarettes, candy, oils, and processed plant material containing narcotic-classified substances or deemed hazardous to health. The contents of the boxes will now be analyzed.
The police have previously analyzed goods from the stores, and narcotic-classified substances have been detected. As TT has previously reported, there have also been warnings that young people who have used the products have felt unwell and ended up in psychosis-like states.
The police have now opened a case of endangering others.
"We regularly encounter children and young people who are heavily influenced by products they have bought from the stores, and there are several cases where narcotic-classified substances have been detected in their urine samples," says Raoul Silverbring, group leader at the local police in Solna, in a press release.
The police can seize goods that are currently legal to sell, citing the destruction law. It is the government that is responsible for deciding whether a substance should be classified as hazardous to health, but pending a decision, the police can confiscate substances suspected of being used for abusive purposes.
