Some details the police do not want to give.

Suspected serious crime. But as the investigation situation looks right now, we will keep the classification for a while longer, says the police's press spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl in the evening.

It was on Monday morning that several people with what looked like weapons were seen entering a stairwell – whereupon the police began their operation and detained "a couple of individuals" who were interesting according to witness statements, the police said then.

The suspicions of serious firearm crime have been dismissed. Exactly how many people have been detained in the matter, the police do not want to specify on Monday evening.

There are no reports of anyone being injured in connection with the operation.
