Sweden Police Headquarters in Falun is evacuated after a grenade was submitted at the reception. It is unclear how long the station will be closed. Bomb Group is on the way from Stockholm
It was on Thursday afternoon at 15:17 pm that a grenade should have been submitted at the reception desk at the police station in Falun.
– I’m a bit of the tension. You take it seriously when it happened so much in the world. But I actually think it will go well. Though it is still a bit soft thoroughly because it is so close to my job, says Amelia Dorado.
She works at a museum which is 100 meters away from the police station. She and colleagues got a shock when another colleague sent a text message that they found a grenade at the police station.
– So then we ran out and looked. Then we went in and read about it in the newspaper, says Amelia.
But police in Falun situation under relative control . Now awaiting to further directorates.
– There is a person who found a grenade and stepped into the reception area of Falun and submitted it. Then we get close and seal off and call the bomb team until we know how to handle it. Says Stefan Wickberg, press officer of the Regions Bergslagen.
Police bomb group is contacted. It is unclear how long it will take to determine what it is about the kind of objects and how long it will take before the police station opens again.
– It is difficult to determine. It depends on whether we are told that this object is dangerous or if it turns out that it is not dangerous. In the worst case, the bomb group come here from Stockholm to take care of this item, says Wickberg.
How should you proceed when you find something like that?
– we are pleased that the public agency when they found ammunition, but we want to come out and look at that. If you find stuff in the forest and properties so do not touch it, but let us get out and look. One can also send a picture as we can through the photographs to determine whether it is dangerous or not, Stefan Wickberg, press officer of the Regions Bergslagen.
When the clock 17 on Thursday afternoon, it was clear police in Falun must receive a physical visit of the bomb group. This was at the same time on the way from Stockholm.
– There is still cordoned off and we are waiting for the bomb group now. However, we have held that this grenade is harmless as long as you do not touch it, said police spokesman Stefan Wickberg.
