On Sunday, a hand grenade was found outside the home.
The family has been blackmailed by unknown perpetrators for weeks, according to information given to Aftonbladet.
The day before, the family received threats that “a present had been left on the balcony”, according to sources.
Police were alerted on Sunday after a suspected sharp hand grenade was found outside a residence in Tullinge, according to information to Aftonbladet.
The national bomb squad was called to the scene and a large cordon has been set up in the residential area.
Was pressed for money
According to information to Aftonbladet, the family living in the home has been blackmailed for a few weeks by people who claim to belong to a criminal network.
The individuals want payment for an alleged debt related to a previous felony and have said they will attack the family if the debt is not paid, sources said.
Just over a week ago, an unknown person knocked on the family’s door and reportedly left a note with threats.
Since then, according to sources, the family has received several threats via text message and the police have since had sporadic surveillance at the address.
Details: Was threatened the day before the hand grenade
According to information to Aftonbladet, on Saturday the family received a threat in a text message that said they had “left a present on the balcony”.
