She said the man, who did not identify himself, insisted he had meant no harm to her or her family. It is unclear whether the thief’s remorse extended to him returning about €200 (£170) in cash that the bags also contained. Bednarz, who is originally from Poland but has lived in Sweden for 13 years, said the man told her where the urn could be found. Police have arrested three Cypriot nationals in connection with the theft: two men aged 33 and 43, and a 34-year-old woman. Police said they received a tipoff implicating the woman and the 33-year-old man, while the other man was suspected of helping them evade arrest.
