Lundabo is suspected of having run a weapons smithy in the boys' room - now he is being prosecuted

It was when the customs stopped a package of tear gas pistols that they opened the eyes of the 20-year-old.

The following days, a house search was carried out in the apartment where the man lives with his mother and siblings.

- There, further evidence was found that indicates a weapons forge or a small weapons factory, says Erik Friberg, deputy head of the customs criminal unit south.

May have handled more weapons

Four weapons were seized in the apartment, which customs believe were sharp.

However, a search of the man's mobile phone found evidence that he had handled more weapons.

- In total, the prosecutor claims nine weapons, and it can not be ruled out that there are more.

But that is in any case the figure that the prosecutor believes can be proven, says Erik Friberg.

Self-made ammunition and gunpowder were also found in the man's room.

"The only logical conclusion is that they would be sold to criminals"

The 20-year-old is suspected of having bought blurry weapons that are legal in some EU countries.

In the weapons forge, he must then have rebuilt them to be able to handle sharp ammunition.

And according to Erik Friberg, the purpose could not have been anything other than selling them to criminals.

- The only logical conclusion I draw from this is that they would be sold to criminals.

There is no legal use for this type of weapon in Sweden, he says.

The 20-year-old is now being prosecuted on suspicion of violating the law on flammable and explosive goods, serious arms smuggling and extremely serious gun crime.

He himself denies the crime.
