Police have arrested a teenager in Södertälje after an object was thrown at the door of a villa. An explosive device has been seized.

A masked person was seen outside the house on Monday night, and when police arrived at the scene, they discovered damage to the facade.

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrested a teenager who had an explosive device on him.

A stone or something similar had been thrown at the house, possibly with the intention of breaking a window and then throwing this explosive object in. That's what it could be like, says Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson for the Stockholm Police.

The arrested person is under 18 years of age and is now suspected of preparing to commit serious public danger damage. The police did not want to say what type of explosive device the arrested person was carrying.
