And finally… Swede dreams

And finally... Swede dreams

Swedish furniture giant Ikea has issued a plea to teenagers to stop sneaking into its stores for unauthorised sleepovers.

Ikea has been forced to deal with a slew of teenagers trespassing on its premises in a viral trend started by Belgian YouTubers.

There have been at least 10 cases across the world this year.

Jakob Holmstrom, press officer for Ikea Sweden, told Aftonbladet: “We do not see what it is that is fun with what they do.”

A UK spokesperson told BBC News: “We appreciate that people are interested in Ikea and want to create fun experiences, however the safety and security of our co-workers and customers is our highest priority and that’s why we do not allow sleepovers in our stores.”
