Shortly after midnight, the police received an alarm from several callers about an explosion at an apartment building in Rosengård, Malmö.
According to Thomas Söderlund, duty officer at Police Region South. it is unclear exactly where it has exploded but probably on the outside of a gate.
– The outside of the property is damaged, there is widespread damage to the facade and glass panes. We still don’t know exactly what happened.
An area has been cordoned off, and no one appears to have been injured.
The bomb shelter
The national bomb shelter is in place.
– It’s so that it’s a safe place to work, so that nothing else hits.
Technicians work to secure tracks and other evidence.
– We also conduct internal intelligence, that is, we go through registers and collections of information to see if there may be connections to other events or people, says Söderlund.
Notorious gang criminal
According to Sydsvenskan and TT, a notorious gang criminal is registered at the address.
Can you confirm that?
– No, not at the moment. Theoretically, several criminals may live at the address, but they do not have to be targets. Although we are specifically looking for gang criminals who are part of ongoing gang conflicts.
– There is currently a battle going on about who will decide on the street.
Several explosions
This week there have been several explosions in Malmö, in Fosie on March 7 and in Rörsjöstaden on March 9.
– I cannot say whether there is any connection, says Söderberg.
