In a massive dawn raid on organized crime in the Gothenburg area, police arrested at least 15 people and seized weapons, drugs, and a large amount of cash.

This coordinated effort involved hundreds of officers, including special units such as bomb squads and forensic experts.

The operation, targeting the so-called T-faction linked to violent crimes, aimed to thwart major drug offenses and prevent future violence.

Seven suspects remain in custody, while others have been released after questioning.

Deputy Regional Police Chief Robert Karlsson hailed the raid as the largest coordinated effort in modern times, sending a strong message to both criminals and the public.
