Two sharp loaded hand grenades were thrown at an apartment building in Kroksbäck in Malmö on Midsummer’s Day. Now examines a car where another bomb can be.

Many people are deeply shaken by the drama of the block.

At four o’clock in the morning was alerted police that there were two suspect hand grenades at an extended roof adjacent to an apartment building.

It turned out to be sharp grenades, says Lars Performed Tell, Malmo police spokesman, said.

Around 60 people were evacuated from the nearby properties for several hours. But no one was harmed.

Bomb Technicians has secured the grenades. However, we retain a small roadblock in the property’s vicinity where we make a crime scene investigation, says Lars Performed Tell.

Suspected car

In the afternoon, the police established new barriers on the same street as the grenades found. A car parked outside a medical center to be examined by bomb technicians.

We have received information that there may be a dangerous object in the car. Given what has happened and what could happen, we take no risks, says Ewa-Gun Westford, spokesperson for the police.

The events now being studied by a special group of police, investigating links between a number of serious crimes in the area, including a series of bombings and several shootings.

These things come thick and fast. It is clear that we see a connection, says Ewa-Gun Westford.

Now spread anxiety and fear among those living or staying in the area.

It is quite easy to understand that one becomes worried when this kind of thing happens, says Performed Tell.

Worried gathered

Outside the police blue and white barrier tape is Daniel Jensen with her ten year old son. They live a few hundred meters away from the restricted area, but are here to rest some dogs with out of town relatives.

My son got a little panicked when he realized that something had happened, just like myself. We’re only human, says Daniel Jensen said.

The dogs can get along for a while waiting for the blockade is lifted.

I think of my son, and if it is time to leave Malmo after bomb threats, shootings and other in town, he said.

Several police patrols have been knocking on doors in the area to get information that may be of interest to the investigation. At the present time do not want the police to tell if there is a threat against the people of the area.

We are doing everything possible to find out who or what is behind this. We have received a lot of good material that we work with, says Lars Performed Tell.

Detonated not

What damage as a hand grenade can cause is hard to say, according to police.

It very much depends on how and where it goes. Right now it is very difficult to assess, it gets our bomb technicians examine in retrospect, says Performed Tell.

Why hand grenades not detonated want the police not to comment.

We do not want to talk about our observations regarding the hand grenades. We do not want the offender or offenders should know how much we know. It turned out to be sharp grenades, says Lars Performed Tell, Malmo police spokesman, said.

Police says the find on a roof in Malmö.
