Suspicious object in Uddevalla turned out to be sharp

The alarm was raised at around 2:15 p.m. The police cordoned off the surrounding area, and residents of nearby properties were evacuated.

The National Bomb Disposal Service was called in and secured the object early in the evening.

They have secured the object, which turned out to be sharp, says Fredrik Flyberg, officer on duty with the police.

Fredrik Flyberg doesn't want to say what the object was.

Just over a week ago, a hand grenade was found in the same area, local media reports.

We do not rule out a connection between the two events, says Fredrik Flyberg.
