A man and a woman, between 30 and 40 years old, have been arrested on probable grounds, following a suspected bomb threat at Central Station in Stockholm.

They are suspected of crimes against the law on flammable and explosive goods, gross crime, and preparation for gross general endangerment.

Through their lawyers, both deny the crimes.

It was on Wednesday that a large operation was initiated and Stockholm Central was evacuated after a suspected dangerous object was found. The now-arrested man and woman were caught with a thermos bomb in their bag, which they were supposed to deliver to a location in northern Sweden, according to information to Aftonbladet.
