During the night, an explosion took place in a building in Växjö.
A large area was cordoned off after an alarm about a suspected dangerous object outside – the object has been neutralized by the police.
– We assess it as a sharp object, says Richard Lundqvist at the police command center.
The alarm about the explosion on Hjalmar Petris road in Växjö came at 10.30, but it must have occurred much earlier. According to the police at 22 o’clock last night.
During the morning, the police received an alarm about a suspected dangerous object outside the building. A barrier with a radius of 200 meters was set up and the national bomb squad was sent to the scene, according to the police.
– We judge it as a sharp object, it means that it is not just something that someone has tried to make it look dangerous, but that it is actually dangerous, in our opinion , says Richard Lundqvist at the police command center.
The object has been neutralized by the police.
“There are hypotheses “
According to information from the site, many curious people gathered at the roadblocks.
