Two boys with a weapon were arrested outside Attunda District Court on Wednesday.

According to Aftonbladet’s information, the suspected target was on the premises.

On Friday, the boys were arrested on suspicion of serious weapons offences.

The man who has links to the Peppar network was on his way out the doors of Attunda district court but stopped when he looked out a window. A security guard noticed the action and also saw two suspicious individuals outside the premises, according to Aftonbladet’s information.

The pepper man then remained on the premises while the police were alerted.

Police checked two teenage boys and found a gun. Both were subsequently arrested on suspicion of aggravated weapons offences.

The police suspect that the boys, who have connections to criminal networks, were there to shoot the man when he was about to leave the premises, according to Aftonbladet’s information.

The designated target was there to watch a trial against a ringleader of the Peppar network, according to the records.

The leading gang member was recently sentenced for a high-profile explosion in Hässelby last year.

The suspected target has previously been convicted of serious weapons offences, assault and drug offences. In 2021, his family was also subjected to an explosion.

The two suspected boys who were arrested outside the district court were remanded in custody on Friday, suspected of serious weapons offences.
