We have handled it as if it were live. I do not go into any details about what the object is, says the police's press spokesperson Patrik Fors.

The National Bomb Protection has worked on the site during the night until Friday. Just before 03.00, the police confirmed that they had blown up the object and completed the operation, reports BLT.

Bomb technicians have, together with crime scene technicians, secured the object before making a so-called controlled explosion. Then they have taken the stuff with them from there, says Fors.

The incident is classified as a serious crime against the law on flammable and explosive goods. No person is arrested on Friday morning.
