On Wednesday evening, police and the national bomb squad were called to the Öresund Bridge toll station in Malmö after a suspicious discovery in a German-registered car.

The vehicle, traveling from Denmark towards Sweden, was found to contain several hand grenades, two automatic weapons, and two pistols.

A woman was arrested at the scene and is currently in custody, suspected of serious weapons offenses.

The Swedish Customs Agency confirmed their involvement in the ongoing investigation, with police assistance.
