He was beaten up and threathened and according some sources this went on for hours. He didn’t understand what they said to each others. His parents had to leave an unknown sum of money on a park bench to get their son back. The boy is injured both physically and psychologically.
The police got a tip-off that the kidnappers were at a camping south of Stockholm and after a carchase they were arrested. Several police cars were damaged and a police got slightly injured.
The kidnappers were between 17 and 18 years old. Two of them were on the run from a juvenile home in Fagersta where they had threatened the staff to be able to leave.
