It was during Wednesday evening that the police were alerted to Östra Bäcklösa in Uppsala. When the police checked the men, they tried to escape but were caught by the police at once. The police have also seized a firearm.
The police will now investigate whether there are links to gang crime, but do not want to comment at the moment on whether the two main suspects are already known to the police.
Dogs and helicopter
In addition to several police officers, a helicopter and dog patrols were also on site. According to the police’s website, no one was injured in connection with the operation.
SVT has been in contact with prosecutor Thomas Bälter, who leads the preliminary investigation. He does not wish to make any comments at this time.
