Swedish police News
The Swedish Police has uncovered a child prostitution racket that was operating under the garb of so-called 'sugar dating websites' in a week-long campaign.
Swedish police said on Sunday that the suspect in the Stockholm truck attack was known to have expressed sympathies with extremist organisations, including Islamic state.
Swedish police arrested a 39-year-old Uzbek man on suspicion of ramming a hijacked beer delivery truck into crowds in central Stockholm, killing four people and wounding 15 in what they called a terror crime.
The alleged driver, who is in custody, is a 39-year-old man from Uzbekistan who was already known to Swedish police, authorities said.
"We have confirmed that he is a man, 39 years old, from Uzbekistan," Swedish police chief Dan Eliasson told reporters.
"We do not have contact with the driver," national police chief Dan Eliasson told reporters, as another police officer showed a picture of a man wearing a white sweater, with dark stubble on his face.
Swedish police were hunting for a man wanted for "planning a terrorist act", security services said, with the country on high alert following the deadly terror assault in Paris last week.
