Norwegian police have found a “bomb-like device” in central Oslo, and a suspect is being held in custody, the police said on their official Twitter account on Saturday.
A Reuters reporter at the scene said a large area had been cordoned off and that the perimeter was being expanded.
“For safety reasons, you must immediately move further away,” a policeman told reporters as Oslo’s bomb squad was preparing to enter the area.
“It seems like this device only has potential for causing limited damage … we’re now awaiting further necessary investigations,” the police tweeted.
Shortly later the police detonated the device.
“The noise from the blast was louder than our explosives themselves would cause,” a police spokesman said, while adding that further investigation would be conducted at the scene.
