Most Swedish arrest ever
An off-duty Stockholm police officer found himself sitting in the same sauna as a fugitive who had dodged a jail sentence for aggravated assault.

It's easier to take action when you have your colleagues with you, and all your kit. This was as stripped down as it gets," Rinkeby's deputy police chief tells the BBC.
