The two who are suspected of preparation for murder are, according to the police, two 18-year-old men. A man in his 60s has also been arrested, suspected of serious weapons offences.
According to the police, all three were arrested on Monday evening.
– I don’t want to go into where the three were arrested, but it all went smoothly, says police spokesperson Thomas Johansson and continues:
– We are not looking for any more people at the moment.
Were any of the three caught with guns?
– I can’t say anything about that. This is information that we are careful not to share.
