Two teenagers from Eskilstuna, a 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman, have been charged with serious weapons offences, reports P4 Sörmland.

According to the indictment, the two teenagers had a loaded pistol and five magazines with 46 cartridges at an address in Eskilstuna last winter and spring. They are also suspected of violating the Weapons Act, for possession of five cartridges at the same address.

According to prosecutors, there is nothing in the investigation that links the girl and the young woman to any of the more than 20 shootings that have occurred in Eskilstuna so far this year, the radio reports.
