New jewelry thefts at Danderyd Hospital: 'Extremely serious'

Several patients reported missing valuables at Danderyd Hospital during the spring of 2025, leading to ongoing investigations and new theft reports.

Several patients have reported missing valuables at Danderyd Hospital during the spring of 2025. Authorities have arrested a woman in December, charging her with three serious thefts that allegedly occurred between 2020 and 2025 while she was employed at the hospital. The total value of the stolen goods is estimated at around 1,050,000 kronor. Additionally, the woman is suspected of serious commercial betrayal and another theft on Lidingö. Some suspicions have arisen regarding the disappearance of valuable items from her partner’s home. Although she denies several theft accusations, she admits to some of the incidents.

Despite her arrest, new thefts have been reported at Danderyd Hospital. On Wednesday, the hospital announced that around fifteen new reports of lost jewelry and watches had been filed after the woman’s arrest. Many of these cases have occurred in the past few days, suggesting an ongoing issue with security at the facility. A spokesperson from Danderyd Hospital stated that it is extremely serious when patients fall victim to theft, and they are working hard to address the situation and enhance the safety of their patients.

The ongoing incidents highlight a significant security problem at Danderyd Hospital, impacting the trust patients have in the healthcare environment. With multiple thefts reported over several years and new allegations surfacing, hospital authorities face pressure to implement more effective security measures to protect patients' belongings. The community is deeply concerned about these thefts, prompting discussions about broader implications for patient safety and hospital management.
