An explosion occurred during the night of Monday in a pizzeria in central Gävle.
The alarm came in shortly after 4 a.m. after witnesses heard something explode inside the restaurant. When the police arrived at the scene, it was established that something had detonated, shattering the glass panes of the building.
– We believe that something has been thrown into the room which then exploded. All the windows in the restaurant have been smashed, but there does not seem to be any major devastation, says Pontus Hjelm, commander of police region Mitt.
The restaurant was closed when the explosion occurred and no one has been reported injured.
– We have started a preliminary investigation into public-dangerous devastation. The national bomb squad is on its way to the scene for a crime scene investigation and the scene is cordoned off, says Pontus Hjelm.
