Teenagers Arrested in Södertälje Violence

Four teenagers have been arrested in Södertälje following a series of violent incidents earlier this week.

A 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy were detained for attempted murder and serious weapons offenses after a shooting in Hovsjö.

Meanwhile, two other teenagers, both 17 years old, were arrested for throwing a hand grenade into a store in Geneta, injuring a woman.

Authorities believe these acts are linked to ongoing gang conflicts in the area.

The police are investigating connections between these incidents and previous violent acts in Södertälje, as tensions between rival gangs escalate.
