WhatsApp cops shared crime pics with outsider

The Stockholm police officers accidentally included the phone number of a regular Swede in their group chat on WhatsApp, a thread in which they shared private information about ongoing investigations. They later said they used WhatsApp, rather than calling each other, because it helped them communicate quickly as they were working.

“Goodness me, what can I say" the police officer said. "This is deeply unfortunate, of course, that such information came to light like this. I truly apologize. It was me who wrote down the wrong number and I’ll be taking responsibility for it."
