Police were alerted to Annelund in Malmö 17.43 on Sunday and parts of Lantmannagatan, Fagerstagatan and Ystadsgatan east of Lantmannagatan were blocked off.

Preparing for general destruction

After 8pm on Sunday evening, police announced that the object was deemed dangerous and that the bomb guard was harming it at the scene. The object was then transported from the plastic for further examination.

The police have prepared a report on preparation for the general destruction of the property.

Several incidents

Over the weekend, two similar cases were handled by the police when suspected dangerous items were investigated by the police's national bomb protection at various locations in Malmö.

According to the police, it is too early to say whether the cases are related to each other.

"I understand that the public wonders about this, but we have to make a separate assessment of each individual case," says Rickard Lundqvist, the police spokesman.
