Swedish police said on Monday they were investigating the suspected sabotage of a water pump on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea after the pump was cut off from power on Sunday.
The water and sewage unit for Gotland's municipality received a fault alarm for a water pump on Sunday at 1630 GMT, police said.
The possible sabotage could have left the entire island without water had it not been discovered, Swedish daily Aftonbladet reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources.
"Technicians went to the site and found that someone had opened an electrical cabinet, pulled out a cable and thereby cut the power to the pump," police said in an emailed statement.
The pump is working again, they said, adding that they had not detained anyone in the case.
