The alarm came at 11 o'clock and just before 2 pm, a part of the area was still cordoned off.

The National Bomb Protection Unit is on site and is examining the object. They have had technical problems and are now waiting for a new robot, so it has taken time, says Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson for the police to TT.

Residents in homes in the surrounding area have been informed to stay indoors, that is, stay in their homes.

The street is cordoned off. Residents who are in their homes, we have asked to stay there and those who are not there may not go to their homes, but instead go to an assembly point, says Mats Eriksson.
