I cannot confirm what the object in question is. When we know what it is, we will be able to communicate it, says police spokesperson Susanna Rinaldo to TT. The police lifted the cordons in the area at 10 o'clock, which is located near the Södertörn Probation Service's premises. According to maps, there is also a learning center and a dental clinic in the neighborhood. The police were informed about the suspected object after a report was received by the police. Susanna Rinaldo does not want to comment on whether any threats have been made related to the object. It's nothing I can answer right now. If evacuations might be considered, she also does not want to answer. I do not want to answer hypothetical questions. But no decision has been made about an evacuation. The focus is now on finding out what it is and then acting accordingly. There are no decisions from our side to evacuate or anything like that. But the cordons should be respected. A report has been made on attempted public destruction, gross crime against the law on flammable explosive goods and unlawful threats. The police will conduct a crime scene investigation, information collection and interrogations.
