The police were alerted to the apartment building at half past one in the night after something had exploded at the entrance.
It was a fairly powerful bang, where the door and side windows were destroyed, but fortunately, there were no personal injuries. We have initiated an investigation into general reckless destruction, says the police's press spokesperson Thomas Fuxborg.
About an hour earlier, patrols had been alerted to an apartment at Västra Gärdet in Falkenberg after a suspected dangerous object had been thrown into an apartment.
It's about a homemade thermos bomb that someone threw in, but it didn't detonate for some reason.
The National Bomb Squad determined after examining the object that it was live.
A person was in the apartment, so it's being classified as an attempted murder, says Christian Brattgård, press spokesperson for the police.
In recent days, several other notable events have occurred in Falkenberg. Including a suspected attempted murder, where a heavily bleeding man came in to seek help at a gas station on Monday evening, and an older woman who was found dead by the E6.
The police are investigating possible connections between tonight's explosion and other events.
Yes, there have been a few events lately in Falkenberg. We're looking into whether and if any of them are connected to each other, says Christian Brattgård.
We're trying to tie the threads together and see if any of the events are linked.
