Police spokesman Lars Westermark says he has never heard of such a mistake having been made before. During questioning, the man initially confessed to having stored a small amount of amphetamine in his vehicle, but then changed the story to say it was dextrose. According to Swedish news agency TT, a district court then ordered the man detained. But subsequent, and more advanced, tests gave totally different results however: The white powder turned out to be nothing else but dextrose. “I have never heard of anything like this happening before,” Skellefteå police spokesman Lars Westermark said.
