Mile recycling station in Mjøndalen was today evacuated and closed. – We have been submitted to a suspicious object. And when we get it, we have routines for it, so there has been no drama around this, says Marte Brændsrud, communications manager at RFD (the renovation company for the Drammens region). The station was immediately closed and evacuated, while the police were contacted. – It was a grenade -like object, and the police will now do their investigations, says Brændsrud. The police reached the mile recycling station, which is located on the orchid height in Mjøndalen.

Police arrived at 12 o’clock, and a quarter later the station was reopened. According to police chief Arne Koppergård, there is probably talk of an exercise grenade. – Everything indicates that it is, but it will be further investigated by the Armed Forces, he says.
