The police have initiated a larger operation due to a suspected dangerous object outside a multi-family house in Eslöv. The object is believed to be a live hand grenade.

We received observations that there could be something dangerous outside a property. When we arrived, we also made the assessment that the object could be dangerous, says Ola Sunesson Almström, duty officer at the police.

Shortly after 05.00, the police announced that the object is believed to be a live hand grenade. Parts of the property have been evacuated, while people in adjacent buildings have been indoors in their homes.

The police classify the case as attempted general destruction and serious crime against flammable and explosive goods.

We have blocked off the area and called in the national bomb squad, says Ola Sunesson Almström.

The police used a robot at the scene during the night, among other things, and will disarm the object. The alarm came in around 02.00 on Wednesday morning.
