The police in region West have carried out a planned operation against the serious organised crime on Saturday.
In the operation, several locations in Western Sweden have been searched and a very large number of hand grenades as well as a large quantity of narcotics have been found. The operation was well prepared and has involved both regional and national resources.
An investigation into particularly serious narcotics crime and particularly serious crime against the Act on Flammable and Explosive Substances has been initiated. At present, two people are being detained, but further arrests may be expected.
The investigation is led by a prosecutor and is still in an early stage, which is why further information cannot be provided at present.
