At 20:20, the police announced that the hand grenade had been removed from the park by the national bomb squad, and that it had subsequently been placed in a special bomb vehicle.

It means that it is secured and does not pose a threat to the surroundings. Then it is transported away and disarmed at another location. You can also detonate hand grenades on the spot, but in this case, they chose the other alternative, says Fredrik Bratt at the police to Sydsvenskan.

Later in the evening, the police stated that the area where the hand grenade was found had been searched by a bomb-sniffing dog to check for any other dangerous objects. By 21:30, the police technicians were finished on the scene and all barricades were lifted. The police's crime classification is gross unlawful threat and offense against the law on flammable and explosive goods.

Sydsvenskan writes that a detonation occurred at a gate in Bjärred almost two weeks ago.

The alarm about the hand grenade came from the public to the police at 17:00. A VMA, important message to the public, was issued but was withdrawn in the evening.
