Swedish gangsters use dwarfs to steal

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Dwarfs have come to the aid of thieving Swedish gangsters by hiding in luggage compartments on travel buses.

The bite sized criminals have been found hiding in luggage storage spaces ransacking through personal items, which belong to unsuspecting bus riders, Sky News in Britain reported Thursday.

"It is very possible that a small person is being placed in a bag in order to search through the other bags. We are taking extra security measures and are thinking of installing video surveillance cameras," a Swebus spokeswoman said.

Officials said small kids have been put to the same use in similar theft scams and they have urged bus riders in Sweden not to keep valuable items in their stored luggage.
