STOCKHOLM - Swedish police arrested a woman on Thursday on suspicion of keeping her daughters confined to an apartment amid media reports that they were locked away for a decade.

Police suspected the 59-year-old woman had "restricted her children's freedom... for quite a few years," spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford told AFP.

According to tabloid Expressen, one of the now adult children managed to briefly leave the apartment in the small southern town of Bromoella and convince a neighbour to call the police, saying that they had been locked up for over a decade.

"The blinds were always pulled down there and we haven't heard any noise from the apartment," a neighbour told the paper. Expressen also reported that the woman had moved the children around to different locations in an effort to keep them away from their father.
