Areas of Sweden have been identified as 'no go' zones by police

The country has seen a huge surge in crime since the start of the migrants crisis in Europe with a rise in sex assaults, drug dealing and children carrying weapons.

In the secret report by Sweden's National Criminal Investigation Service, attacks on officers are detailed, including police cars being stoned by masked groups.
Some 52 areas have been put on a '"blacklist" which are then divided into three categories from "risk areas" to "seriously vulnerable".
And the report revealed Sweden’s Capital Stockholm had over 20 no-go areas where over 75,000 people live.
The report comes after law enforcement chiefs in the country called for extra officers, admitting they cannot cope with the levels of crime being committed.

Another 100,000 migrants are expected to arrive in Sweden this year

We have to go to work against unrest in the asylum centres which places a much greater demand than might appear outwardly

National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson

National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson said he needed a further 4,100 officers and specialist staff to deal with the surge in incidents since migrants entered the nation in their thousands.
He said: “We have to go to work against unrest in the asylum centres which places a much greater demand than might appear outwardly.

"In some places in Sweden this eats significant resources out of the police's capability.
"Moreover, from several sources there are reports that staff are poorly prepared to handle violence, threats and conflicts - while there are too few security guards."

Last month, Swedish police had to run for safety after being surrounded by an angry mob of migrants when they went to rescue a 10-year-old boy, who had allegedly been raped and 22-year-old Alexandra Mezher was stabbed to death by a Somali boy aged 15.
