As it looks with car parts that have come loose, one suspects that it may have something to do with a detonation. Then there is also room for something having been in the car, says Sara Andersson, press spokesperson at the command center.

Another car was destroyed in the fire. The site is now cordoned off for technical investigation.

The police are investigating the matter as general reckless destruction and violation of the law on fire hazardous and explosive goods. One cannot yet say whether it could be gang-related.

It's far too early to say. We don't know who the owners of the cars are yet, says Sara Andersson.
