Second Swedish man charged and remanded in custody after Pokémon robbery in Faxe Ladeplads
A judge at the court in Næstved remanded a 25-year-old Swedish man in custody on Monday in connection with a home robbery committed against a younger married couple in Faxe Ladeplads in January. This emerges from a press release from South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police, which B.T. reports.
The man was extradited from Sweden earlier in the day and brought before a preliminary hearing, writes Sjællandske.
— This is an exceptionally serious home robbery committed against a married couple who were targeted in their own home. We are very satisfied with the cooperation with the Swedish authorities and with the fact that our investigative efforts have now led to the two charges in the case, says deputy police inspector Kenneth Lund-Jensen in the statement.
The precise role that the 25-year-old played in the robbery is not described in further detail in the press release.
Another Swedish man has already been charged in the case. He was arrested and remanded in custody shortly after the robbery in January. According to Sjællandske, it emerges from the charge against the first man that the seized Pokémon cards are estimated to have a total value of at least 300,000 kroner.
Police state that extensive investigative efforts combined with close cooperation with Swedish authorities have made it possible to identify and extradite the second suspect.
South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police do not expect further arrests in the case.
