About two weeks ago, people were evacuated after explosives were found in the garden of a family with children on the east side of Fredrikstad. On Tuesday, another person was arrested in the case, the police said in a press release. The person is a Finnish citizen, but resident in Sweden.

The police do not want to say anything more about the woman’s role in the case for the sake of the investigation. Central hypothesis In the past, the police’s theory has been that the explosive charge was placed in the garden of an unknowing family with children by accident. Now the police write that they have a central hypothesis that there may now be a criminal network behind it, and that the case has ramifications abroad. Denies criminal guilt A Swedish 28-year-old has already been arrested in the case. He was arrested at a hotel in Fredrikstad on 23 October, according to news’s information. He denies criminal guilt. The 37-year-old who was arrested on Friday does the same. He is charged with possession of explosives with intent to commit a serious criminal offence. Police forensics technicians worked at the scene where the explosives were found. Photo: Even Bjøringsøy Johnsen He has been remanded in custody for four weeks with a letter and visiting ban. The accused 31-year-old has links to a Halden-based criminal network which the police have described as “a danger to democracy”, news’s investigations show.
