Suspicious Object Found in Stairwell of Four-Story Building
Late last night, the Stockholm Police were called to a four-story building after receiving reports of a suspicious and potentially dangerous object in the stairwell. According to Ola Österling, the press spokesperson for the Stockholm Police, the call came in just two minutes after midnight. The area has been cordoned off, and plans are underway to evacuate the property.
At 2:00 AM, bomb technicians were on the scene and ready to address the object once the property had been evacuated. Österling stated that there is a large operation with forensics technicians on-site, and residents are being evacuated to a nearby school.
Initially, there were reports that something had exploded at the scene, but the police have confirmed that nothing has exploded. Österling mentioned that a window had broken in connection with the application of the object.
The police suspect that the object may have ties to criminal networks, and an investigation is ongoing. However, Österling did not provide further details on the nature of the object or its potential connection to criminal activity.
The situation is currently ongoing, and the police are working to ensure the safety of the residents and the surrounding area. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
