It was likely fireworks.

The police received calls about explosions in Årby in Eskilstuna and sent patrols to check.

On the scene, the patrols can conclude that it is most likely that someone has fired rockets. The legal situation is a crime against the public order act.

The police remind again of the inappropriateness of firing fireworks in or near residential areas, and that a permit is required. The explosions often cause anxiety, both due to the noise but also due to the police presence that follows.
