Police suspected that the girl had been kidnapped by her father and another man, according to information Aftonbladet sitting on.

After great police efforts in Stockholm and Uppsala to find, reports Expressen at 6.30pm that she has been found in and placed in safety.

According to Swedish media, the police have issued a national alarm in connection with the case.

The girl’s mother and uncle are said to have been assaulted and tied up, and then placed in a van driven by the girl’s father, while the daughter was placed in another van with the other man.

The incident was discovered when the mother managed to escape from the van.

Expressen writes that the father of the girl, a Syrian citizen, has been arrested.

Must have tricked his mother with lunch

According to Expressen, it all started with the uncle being assaulted by the girl’s father and another man. He is then said to have been threatened with a pistol-like object.

Secondly, the suspected kidnappers allegedly sent a text message from the uncle’s phone to the mother and tricked her into meeting him for lunch together.

The mother must then have thought that she would meet her uncle in the south of Stockholm. When she and her daughter arrived at the agreed lunch place, they were assaulted, according to the newspaper.

Escaped when the van stopped at a traffic light

When the van that the father was driving stopped at a red light in Alvsjö, south of Stockholm, the mother managed to get out of the car and run to another car to ask for help.

Then the father drove off, and the mother followed in the other car at the same time as the police were notified, according to information to Expressen.

The newspaper further writes that the father has previously disappeared unannounced with the daughter and that he has previously been convicted of abducting the girl.

Last summer, he is said to have taken his daughter abroad – first to a country in Southern Europe and then over to North Africa – without giving notice.
