According to Borås Tidning, the explosion occurred next to an apartment building. The car's hood is blown up, but the explosion is not believed to have caused any damage to the building.
No personal injuries have been reported and no one has been arrested.
According to sources close to BT, the explosion is believed to be linked to gang criminality. The police's press spokesperson Jens Andersson does not want to go into details about the preliminary investigation – but states that there are circumstances that suggest gang criminality.
But it's a very early stage, so it's not possible to conclude anything right now, he says to TT.
The police have initiated a preliminary investigation into reckless endangerment and the car – which is registered to a person known to the police previously – has been seized for a technical examination.
