The police were alerted during the night about a hand grenade outside a gate at an apartment building in Malmö.
– Just before midnight we received a call from the public, says Jerker Olsson, duty officer at the police.
Several patrols were sent to the scene and the object was examined with the help of a drone. Quite quickly, the police were able to determine that it looked like a hand grenade and the National Bomb Squad was sent to the scene.
– We blocked off so no one could get there and started looking for contact with people in the house, says Jerker Olsson.
Residents on the first two floors had to be evacuated before bomb protection carried out a controlled explosion of the grenade. No peso has been arrested.
