A boy under 18 years old could be apprehended relatively quickly in the area after the police arrived at the scene.

The police were alerted about the incident just before 01:30, on Monday morning.

Several people were woken up by a loud bang, it's described as a rumble, says Daniel Wikdahl.

A number of window panes were shattered, both the window section of the house's entrance door and windows belonging to nearby apartments.

We have spoken to people in the stairwell who were woken up and are shaken, but no one has been injured, says Wikdahl.

The police have conducted a technical investigation at the scene and worked with, among other things, door-to-door knocking in the area. The incident is classified as reckless destruction.
