The purpose is to check that explosives do not end up in the wrong hands. Visits are made throughout the Eastern region, ie Östergötland, Södermanland and Jönköping County.

- During inspections, we check, among other things, that the company has good routines to prevent explosives from disappearing and that they have surveillance and routines to prevent theft, and that they have the quantities and articles that are included in the permit, says Daniel Svanér, fire inspector, at the rescue service in Finspång in a press release.

Is done for crime prevention purposes

Companies will be shown how explosives are stored, documentation and who has access to keys.

"We do the surveillance for crime prevention purposes, in order to limit" leakage "of legal explosives by ensuring that companies store and manage their explosives in such a way that the risk of" wastage "and theft is minimized," says Fredrik Lindfors, Deputy Head of Command for Operation Rimfrost in the police region East.
