A resident discovered an object of suspicious characteristics in the stairwell of a residential building located in Märsta, a town north of Stockholm. Given the potential danger posed by the find, the National Bomb Squad (NBS) was alerted and dispatched to the scene to carry out a thorough inspection.
According to Mats Eriksson, spokesperson for the Stockholm Police, the object was initially found in the building’s shared stairwell, but was moved as a precautionary measure to a nearby unoccupied structure, ensuring the safety of residents while specialists carried out their work.
Authorities have not yet provided further details about the nature of the object or the outcome of the technical inspection conducted by the explosives disposal experts.
