Police were alerted on Friday afternoon to an apartment building in Åkers styckebruk, in Strängnäs municipality, after a detonation took place in or adjacent to an apartment.
The police immediately went to the scene with several patrols. Once on site, it was determined that there had been a proper detonation and the police suspect that it was some kind of bomb that exploded.
Åsa Willsund, who is a press spokesperson at Police Region East, says that it is important that people who are in the area respect the police roadblocks.
– It is not safe to be inside the barriers, she says.
At 18:20, where bomb technicians are on site and had begun their work, the police announce via their website. The bomb technicians carried out an on-site operation against a suspected dangerous object, which meant that a loud bang was heard. This was a controlled operation inside the cordoned off area.
