Swedish police alerted to Russian travelers carrying drones

Russian travelers arriving in Sweden by ferry from former Soviet states are reportedly carrying drones, multiple phones, cash, and new gear instead of fishing equipment, prompting police to be alerted to the pattern. According to Aftonbladet, these travelers, often with dual Russian citizenship, claim to be relatives on a Scandinavian fishing trip but lack equipment, bookings, or itineraries. Internal documents show police have issued a warning to relevant units about this modus. Swedish police declined to confirm the specifics, stating they collaborate and share information with several authorities in their daily work, without detailing operational methods used by border and maritime police.
