In the investigation of the two explosions that occurred in Vänersborg and Uddevalla on the night of May 1 into May 2, four people have now been apprehended.

The suspicions against three of them concern serious crimes against the law on flammable and explosive goods as well as serious public destruction. The fourth person is suspected of assisting in serious public destruction. 

The suspects are detained and the prosecutor, who is leading the investigation, will soon take a position on whether they should be requested to be remanded. Otherwise, the investigative work will continue at an unchanged pace. 

Police district chief Jörgen Thorén is available to the media on Tuesday regarding the police's situation report and continued work on creating safety in Fyrbodal. Contact is made via the regional media center, 010-565 29 28 or [email protected]
