Police in Sweden believe they have uncovered an elaborate cross-border criminal masterplan to steal left shoes in Stockholm and match them up with right shoes pilfered from designer boutiques in Copenhagen. For months, officers were baffled when designer shoe shops in Malmö reported that only left shoes were disappearing from their shelves. But the mystery was solved when it emerged that in neighbouring Denmark only right shoes were put on display, the Times reports."Apparently this is a tried and tested approach," Stig Möller, a police superintendent in Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city and scene of the initial crime, told the paper.
