About ten men in their 20s form the core of the criminal network in Upplands-Bro, which in recent years has been suspected of a number of serious crimes.
Recently, several of the members of the network have been riding motorcycles at high speeds on pedestrian paths in Upplands-Bro, and many local residents must have felt harassed.
Police seized several cross bikes which later turned out to be stolen. Despite this, police were alerted on Friday that someone was riding a motorcycle and sprayed with a fire extinguisher on passersby.
One of the leaders in the network in Bro has since been arrested on suspicion of abuse in court case, ie threat to someone for the person testifying or reported crime.
According to SVT Stockholm police sources, this may have contributed to the car fires and the bomb threat that occurred Wednesday. Prosecutor Kevin Öksuz does not want to go into detail about what it is about because of preliminary investigation confidentiality but says that a prosecution against a suspected 21-year-old can come within two weeks.

Two men from the criminal network in Bro have, among other things, been arrested in a marked double murder in the municipality at the beginning of last year, but were later released.
