STOCKHOLM — She was off duty and wearing a bikini but that didn’t stop Swedish police officer Mikaela Kellner from catching a suspected thief.
A photo of Ms Kellner pinning the suspect to the ground was trending on social media in Sweden this week.
“My first intervention while wearing a bikini during my 11 years as a police officer,” she wrote on Instagram.
