Two suspected dangerous objects have been found outdoors in a residential area in Sätra in southern Stockholm. No person has been injured.

The first object was found at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon. At half past five, the police announced that another suspected hazardous object had been found during the operation, near the first one.

We have several resources on site, says the police's press spokesperson Anna Westberg.

The police do not want to go into what type of object it is. An area has been cordoned off and residents in the vicinity have been asked to stay indoors. The National Bomb Protection Unit is working on the site.

We are working to secure the objects, says Westberg.

A preliminary investigation into serious public endangerment has been initiated. Several investigative measures have been taken.

I cannot comment on whether we have arrested anyone or not at present, says Westberg.
