Police Arrest Suspected Rose Scam Artists in Northern Sweden

Swedish police have arrested two people suspected of running a fraudulent rose-selling scheme. Authorities received multiple reports about suspicious door-to-door rose sellers across several northern counties. The suspects allegedly targeted elderly residents while claiming to sell roses for charity. Police said one case involved successful fraud where money was taken. Officers stopped a vehicle in Arjeplog on Monday evening and detained two individuals. Both suspects were later formally arrested by prosecutors. This type of charity scam frequently targets vulnerable elderly people across Scandinavia. Police had warned the public about these suspicious rose sellers for several days before making the arrests. The operation shows how authorities are cracking down on seasonal fraud attempts that exploit public generosity.
