The police have been alerted to an address in Eskilstuna after a suspected dangerous object was found near a villa.

It is currently unclear what the object is, if it is dangerous and how it ended up there, says the police's press spokesperson Martina Gradian.

Residents of the house and in about ten nearby houses in the villa area have been evacuated. The National Bomb Protection Unit has arrived at the scene and will examine the object.

The police came and knocked on the door. They said it was urgent, says a person living in the area to Eskilstuna-Kuriren.
