According TV4 News three automatic carbines, two pistols and a hand grenade were found in his possession when the police stopped a Danish taxi on the way to Malmö.

The police carried out a routine check on Lernacken, which led to the discovery. The boy is now suspected of particularly serious weapons offenses and violations of the law on explosive and flammable goods.

A man over the age of 18 has also been arrested over the weekend on suspicion of involvement.

– Both are arrested. We cannot rule out that more people were involved. Whether it was a weapons transport or something else, the investigation will have to show, says Nils Norling, press spokesperson at the Malmö police, to TV4.

Recently, the Malmö police have stopped several violent crimes in which young people on the run from HVB homes were involved.< /p>
