Four men in their 20s and 30s have been arrested on suspicion of preparation for gross public-dangerous devastation and gross violations of the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods. The arrests were made after their car was stopped on the E45 just south of Trollhättan during the night of last Thursday. The car contained suspicious objects, including explosive ones, according to prosecutor Josefin Pernmyr.
The arrests come in the wake of a powerful explosion that took place outside a villa in Sjuntorp on Tuesday. The location of the explosion is close to where the men were apprehended, leading investigators to look into a potential connection between the two incidents.
The police have not provided any further details about the identity of the men or the specific nature of the explosive objects discovered in their car. The investigation is ongoing, and the authorities are working to determine the motives and intentions behind the suspects’ alleged preparations for public-dangerous devastation.
The incident has raised concerns about public safety and the potential threat posed by individuals who acquire and possess explosive materials. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and proactive measures to prevent acts of violence and terrorism.
As the investigation unfolds, the police and other law enforcement agencies will continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses to establish a clearer picture of the events leading up to the arrests and the explosion in Sjuntorp. The local community and authorities are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities in order to maintain public safety.
Further updates on the case will be provided as more information becomes available.
