Street prices for drugs are historically low, according to a new report from the organization CAN. This is reported by TT.
Adjusted for inflation, the prices of amphetamines and heroin are a quarter compared to 1988 when CAN began measuring. The price of cocaine has halved over the same period.
Despite factors that should make drugs more expensive – such as gang wars, inflation, crackdowns and pandemics – prices are low. How the price level can be so stable baffles experts.
- It shows the difficulties in fighting this market, says Ulf Guttormsson from the organization CAN to TT.
Ulf Guttormsson believes that it could be because those who handle narcotics accept lower profit margins during temporary periods with the hope that the situation will turn around.

Crimes against homes are increasing - the bombs are getting stronger
Five years ago, 40 percent of the explosions caused by criminals targeted private individuals. This year, the figure is 70 percent. This according to data from the National Bomb Data Center, reports Ekot.
The most common type of bombs are so-called improvised explosive devices, IEDs. These are adapted based on the assignment. The worrying thing is that they have become more powerful, says Malin Nygren, head of the National Bomb Data Center.
- It indicates a good supply of explosives, she says, and adds that it may indicate a different purpose than, for example, just to scare:
- They may have been intended to harm to a greater extent than before.
According to Malin Nygren, it is a bad development that shows the ruthlessness that exists within organized crime in Sweden today.
