Five people have been detained, suspected of being involved in the explosion of a gate at an apartment building on Östermalm in Stockholm on Sunday. A sixth person under the age of 15 has also been taken in for questioning, reports P4 Stockholm.

The individuals are also suspected of involvement in the incident where a hand grenade was found on Skeppsbron in Old Town on October 30, reports Dagens Nyheter.

Both cases are suspected of being linked to a blackmail scheme against the former stock exchange CEO Joachim Kuylenstierna.

Corrected: An earlier version contained an incorrect piece of information about the number of detained individuals in the case.
