Swedish police investigate suspected water pump sabotage

Swedish police are investigating a suspected sabotage incident on a water pump on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea.

Police told the BBC that the local government’s water unit received an alarm for a water pump on Sunday at 17:30 local time (16:30 GMT).

“Technicians found that someone has opened an electrical cabinet, pulled out a cable and thereby cut off the power to the pump,” police said. The technician put the cable back and reset the alarm at 21:30 local time, and the pump is now working.
