They are connected to two municipal companies, said Angelica Vallgren, press officer at the Swedish Economic Crime Agency (EBM).
They are being questioned right now, she added.
EBM declined to state at this time which people are involved, which municipal companies they are connected to, or what the five arrested are suspected of.
It is a matter of preliminary investigation secrecy, Vallgren said.
SVT Västernorrland was the first to report the news, and according to SVT's information, the raid was carried out to gain access to a server. The same information was given by Kicki Strandh, the municipality's communications director.
The house search that was in progress here today concerned a server and email conversations that the police wanted released, she told TT.
The house search was carried out in the morning, she continued.
But we don't know when the arrests were made. We haven't received that information. We only know, through the media, that there are five people who are detained with connections to municipal companies.
The municipality will contact the Swedish Economic Crime Agency to possibly obtain more information, according to Kicki Strandh.
