– It is an apartment building with several floors. If you live a bit higher up in the property, you are welcome to stay inside the apartment as long as you keep away from the windows, says the police's press spokesperson Anders Dahlman.

The residents on the lower floors have been contacted by the police and asked to evacuate.

A VMA, important message to the public, has been issued which urges people in Markbacken to stay indoors and take part in the police's information in the area.

The police have consulted the national bomb protection unit.

They have been contacted. They seem to be coming here, says Dahlman.
