Police report that two masked individuals robbed a jewelry store in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, according to Expressen.
After the robbery, the two men left the scene, and witnesses have reported that they may have used electric scooters as a getaway vehicle.

According to information from Expressen, shots were reportedly fired in the shopping mall during the robbery, but police have found nothing to suggest that shots were actually fired.
No one was injured in connection with the robbery.
