In response to recent violent incidents in Eskilstuna, Swedish police have established two security zones, sparking mixed reactions among residents.

The zones were implemented following a weekend of shootings that left one man dead and another injured.

While some, like 18-year-old Simon Lahall, believe these measures are necessary for safety, others, including 14-year-old Swea, feel that police searches without suspicion can be intrusive.

Police intelligence chief Jale Poljarevius highlighted the recruitment of young children for criminal activities as a growing concern.

Despite the controversy, the increased police presence has reportedly brought a sense of security to the affected neighborhoods, with even some criminals acknowledging the benefits of heightened surveillance.

The initiative aims to quell ongoing conflicts and prevent further violence.
