It was shortly after 15:30 on Friday that the police were alerted to Äsperöd.
- I can not go into details, but what I can say now is that this is a threatening situation, says Rickard Lundqvist, spokesperson for the police.
Has the threat been averted?
-
We currently see no ongoing threat.
A large police resource, consisting of, among other things, dog patrols and helicopters, was sent to the scene, and despite the fact that a few hours have passed since the alarm, the operation is still ongoing.
The national bomb squad has also been called in.
- Within the framework of the effort, we have carried out a house search in a property.
In it, we have found an object that can not be ruled out to be dangerous, and therefore national bomb protection is on its way, says Rickard Lundqvist.
An area and several adjacent roads have been blocked off, and according to the police, traffic in Äsperöd can be affected by the operation.
