It was during the night of New Year’s Eve that one explosive charge detonated in a gate to an apartment building in Rågsved. No one was injured in the explosion, but residents had to be evacuated.
On Thursday, the police were able to arrest an 18-year-old man and on Saturday he was detained on probable cause on suspicion of involvement in the crime. The man has previously been convicted of a number of different crimes, including robbery, assault, weapons offenses and drug offences. He has also been placed in a HVB home as a result of his criminal lifestyle and addiction. In the LVU verdict concerning the placement, it also appears that he has been exploited by older criminals.
The man is a native of the Stockholm area and he is suspected of causing public destruction.
– My client denies any crime, that’s all I can say, says the man’s lawyer Hans Larsson.
Investigating connections with other acts
District Attorney Daniel Jonsson does not want to go into how he sees possible connections with other recent crimes.
– But we are investigating widely and looking at connections to other violent crimes that have taken place in Stockholm, he tells TT.
He assesses the state of evidence as good.
– Now we are working to interview witnesses and collect evidence to substantiate the suspicion and possibly detain more people who may be involved, says Daniel Jonsson.
