A suspiciously dangerous object has been found on the university campus in Västra Valla in Linköping.
The National Bomb Squad has been called to the scene.
– We have made a larger cordon and we want people to respect it, says police spokesperson Olle Älveroth.

Several police patrols are on site at Linköping’s university campus Campus Valla. The alarm about the suspected dangerous object came at 09.55.

Refers to the police

It is an outdoor area that has been cordoned off and the police would like passers-by to respect the cordons and follow the police directives.

– We are in the process of making an assessment of the object and cannot rule out that it is not dangerous, says Olle Älveroth.

Linköping University refers all questions to the police and does not want to comment on the situation at this time.

– We cannot say much more than that it is cordoned off, says Anna-Karin Thorstensson, head of unit at the university’s Research Communication and Press Unit.

The cordoned off area is near a building with lecture rooms and a restaurant.
