Authorities described the objects as live and operational. Police commander Magnus Lefèvre confirmed the assessment in an official statement. Both cases are being investigated as serious violations of laws covering flammable and explosive materials. No arrests have been made in connection with the discoveries. The first discovery occurred in a parking garage during inspection of a stationary vehicle. Police later found additional suspicious items after expanding their search. Bomb disposal technicians were dispatched to secure the area. A large perimeter was established around the industrial zone outside Malmö.
