A “gang of youths” clad in black masks set fire to at least 80 cars in Sweden late Monday night; terrorizing residents in “several cities” in what government officials said looked like a “coordinated military operation.”
According to the BBC, the attacks occurred mostly in the west of the country, with Swedish Prime Minister saying “It looks like very coordinated, almost like a military operation."
“The masked young people broke car windows before pouring flammable liquids inside, Swedish media said. They were also seen throwing stones at police officers,” writes the BBC. “Despite the damage to property, there have been no reports of any injuries.”
What I also read is the perps were definitely trying to conceal their identities.
They were reportedly wearing masks, under hoodies, and with hats on, at night.
Some few witnesses described “dark-haired youths” as taking part in the arson and vandalism.
How one could tell the color of their hair when the thugs were wearing concealing clothing is an interesting question. Perhaps it is as simple as that not all of them were equally hidden? Or perhaps their hair just looked dark because of the time of night.
Likely they were members of some gang(s).
Perhaps, possibly (most likely) non natives of Sweden.
Still, you don’t know the identities of the arsonists.
