A 15-year-old boy, who was 14 at the time, has been convicted in Uppsala District Court for placing three thermos bombs in Svartbäcken last autumn. The verdict covers attempted serious public endangerment and a serious breach of the flammable and explosive goods act, but no punishment is imposed due to his age. The incident is linked to organized crime.
A suspected dangerous object was found outside a villa in Södertälje on Thursday evening. Police cordoned off the area and urged residents to stay indoors while the national bomb squad neutralized the device. The incident is being investigated as attempted murder and other serious crimes.
