During the raid, five hand grenades and several firearms were found. Additionally, nearly three kilos of amphetamine were found in the refrigerator's vegetable drawer.

Last winter, the sons were convicted in the district court for drug and doping offenses. As previously reported by Hem & Hyra, the court could not determine who the weapons belonged to.

The municipal housing company MKB wanted to terminate the woman's lease. In the application to the rent tribunal, it is stated, among other things, that the apartment had been "clearly used as a tool for crime in connection with drug- and weapon-related criminality".

The woman, who has lived in the apartment for 30 years, has said that one of her sons had stored items in the apartment, but she did not know that anything illegal was there.

However, the rent tribunal sided with MKB. The decision can be appealed.
