The Scandinavian country has been plagued with arsonist thugs setting vehicles alight, with hundreds of cars burning out since 2015.
In 2016 alone, more than 70 cars have been destroyed as police struggle to combat the increasing violence and criminal activity in the famously liberal country.
The latest video shows three cars in Hallunda in southern Stockholm engulfed by flames as firefighters battle to put out the blaze.
Overnight Sunday another car was also reported to be burning out in the crime hotbed, which was heavily hit by arson attacks in 2015.
Hallunda was one of the cities which was placed on Sweden’s National Criminal Investigation Service’s list over “no-go” zones due to the police force’s increased lack of control over anti-social behaviour.
In February, Express.co.uk reported the Scandinavian country had seen a huge surge in crime since the start of the migrant crisis in Europe – with a rise in sex assaults, drug dealing and children carrying weapons.
At the time around 50 areas were put on a "blacklist" which are then divided into three categories from "risk areas" to "seriously vulnerable" as it was announced Stockholm had over 20 no-go areas where over 75,000 people live.
However, the figure was increased to 55 in September as the Swedish police force face a recruitment crisis, with on average three officers handing in their notice every day.
Hallunda, with a population with just over 14,000, was one of the areas where it was claimed violence was flourishing due to high immigration, low employment rates and bad living conditions.
In 2015 alone Sweden, with a population of 9.5million, received over 160,000 asylum applications, resulting in the country closing its internal borders despite being a member of the Schengen Area, in a desperate attempt to halt the migrant influx.
The report also said children aged 12 carry weapons for older criminals and 70 cars and buildings were set on fire in an arson spate last year.
The southern city of Malmo suffered a surge of violence over the summer, as almost a 100 car fires ripped through the country’s third-largest city.
In September, police said they believed the crimes were an act of revenge following a crackdown on organised crime in the city.
Officer Erik Jansåker said: “This, in my opinion, is criminal people who are [lashing out] because of our efforts to [crack down] on the serious organised crime.”
The fires, in addition to the unprecedented levels of crime and immigration, has lead to the police across the Scandinavian country pleading for the government to grant them more resources as the force struggles to adequately police the "no-go" areas.
In October, a shocking letter sent into VLT.se by a migrant claimed the spate of car fires were carried out by asylum seekers because "racist Swedes" treated them badly.
Police in Denmark are also struggling to stop the car fire attacks with more than 200 vehicles burning out since New Year's Eve.
When you let rattlesnakes live in your house, this is what happens. You eventually get bit.
Europe and the US feel a bit guilty that they are the cause of this wave of humanity leaving the Middle-East. Tanks and shoulder launched missiles aren't made in the Middle-East. They come from NATO countries along with Russia and China. But many blame NATO and especially the US for dumping arms on so called “good rebels”, who often turn around and sell them to “bad rebels” or too often they loose them to stronger rebels who simply take them away.
Additionally, many countries with shrinking populations think they can pull a Germany and quickly incorporate immigrants into society and into the workforce. They also believe these immigrants will pay taxes, helping these indebted countries pay their bond interest. While others are just looking for workers for their large campaign donor companies who want cheap labor. Many countries have easier labor rules for immigrants rather than citizens.
In Sweden, immigrant families are getting a free house. And many are getting free food, clothes and welfare. In Germany they often get a free small apartment. But drugs, prostitution and crime has been an early result of the immigrant wave. While tax dollars and profits are slower to materialize.
ah interesting point.

I expect it is and will be much worse..the only way America will stop this is remove all muslims..sad for those who aren’t terrorist, but they must make a choice..
Lefty liberal proggies live in denial of reality and natural laws, delude themselves continually, function on emotions and so are self-destructive. Stuck on stupid. And they will lose greatly - liberty, land and life. Sad to watch, glad we’re now awakening here.
More children carrying weapons? I guess those children and widows from Syria weren’t so innocent after all....
Insurance for autos must be going through the roof over there.
Considering that most of the swedes can’t afford a car in their socialist paradise, I wonder what percentage of cars are burning? I laugh at the swede’s self-loathing cultural suicide.
Only 70 cars burnt in a year? That’s a slow weekend in Baltimore.
