Police Region Öst has earlier in 2019 warned about thieves at various institutions of higher education and libraries throughout the region.

The man places at the same time some paper over the mobile, and when he subsequently leaves takes the paper and telephone hidden under it with him. (Article on polisen.se in Swedish)
