In Sweden rather than here, but maybe the idea will catch on….

A special police unit in Stockholm combating share scams was closed last week by the chief safety ombudsman due to a large influx of cases.


Four Stockholm county police officers are working on five large investigations involving nearly 2,000 victims. About another 200 cases remain a high priority in the so-called balance.

Well, it was all getting too stressful for them, so Elf’n’safety moved in and closed them down. You couldn’t make it up:

The employer must now report to the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) about the measures that are planned. Ericson expects a decision about the work in a couple of weeks and does not want to discuss the action plan further before then.


“However, it is mostly about easing the work burden so that we can allocate the work in a different way,” he said.


When asked whether it may involve a supply of new resources, Ericson added, “It is by no means impossible. However, that does not mean it will be so.”

More likely they stumbled on something…or someone…a little bit too “interesting”, eh?
