Men are suspected of raping teenage girls on the run - more may be involved

The police raided the two tents on Ön in the Malmö district of Limhamn early on Saturday morning after a person, who the prosecutor does not want to go into, raised the alarm.

Several people are said to have been at the tent site during the night - including two girls in their lower teens, under the age of 15, who were on the run. Both girls were placed in hvb homes and neither of them comes from Malmö.

In the tents were also two men who are suspected of having raped the two girls.

At 05.41 on Saturday morning they were arrested by the police and they are now under arrest for aggravated rape of a child, attempted aggravated rape of a child and aggravated assault in court. The men are in their 40s and live in Malmö. Both are previously convicted of crimes, but not of sexual offenses.

Now the police are investigating how they came into contact with the girls.

- It is something that is currently being investigated, says prosecutor Veronika Edvinsson.

According to information to Sydsvenskan, they must have somehow lured the girls to their tent site.

Veronika Edvinsson does not want to comment on why the men, even though they are natives of Malmö, camped. There must have been more people than the arrested men and girls at the scene during the night and all have not yet been identified.

- There have been several people, they are working on investigating exactly how many. We are trying to identify more people and it could certainly be relevant with more deprivations of liberty, says Veronika Edvinsson.

The men are also suspected of having tried to prevent the girls from reporting to the police - but in what way Veronika Edvinsson does not want to go into detail.

She plans to request that the arrested men be remanded in custody on Tuesday.
