The police were called on Monday evening to Hagsätra in southern Stockholm after a shooting. No one was injured and a man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and serious weapons offences.
During the same evening, a hand grenade was thrown into a shop in Geneta in Södertälje and detonated. A woman was injured and had to be taken to hospital. Her injuries are described as minor. The police were later able to arrest a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of, among other things, attempted murder and public destruction. He is now arrested.
An additional person is arrested in a neighboring case in Södertälje. The other person arrested is suspected of serious weapons offenses and preparation for murder.
Several serious crimes have occurred in Södertälje recently.
– We have a good idea of the underlying causes of the violence . We have detained the majority of young perpetrators and have good hopes of solving the crimes. Crime in Södertälje is multifaceted and does not only affect certain geographical areas, but has national and international connections, says Max Åkerwall, deputy head of police area Stockholm south, on the police's website and adds:
– The police carry out intensive work and this type of crime requires us to use several different methods, from uniformed police, secret means of coercion and intelligence to close cooperation with Södertälje municipality.
