Police Discover 52 Hand Grenades Linked to Foxtrot Network Following Threat Report

In early March, a 25-year-old man reported receiving threats from the Foxtrot criminal network linked to a debt of about half a million kronor. Concerned for his and his family's safety, he sought police help, which led to a significant discovery. During the investigation, police seized the man's phone and found chats associated with storing hand grenades. Subsequently, 52 live hand grenades were found packaged in a bag in his basement storage in Fruängen, southern Stockholm.

According to prosecutor Sara Stolper, the grenades are believed to belong to the Foxtrot network, though their intended purpose remains unclear. Records show that 56 grenades were delivered to the storage on February 19, four were later passed on to another individual, and two grenades remain unaccounted for at the time of the police raid on March 2.

The man now faces serious charges for storing flammable and explosive material. Additionally, another man has been charged with attempting to extort the 25-year-old by threatening him and his family with violence to recover the debt. Both defendants deny the charges, with the man in possession of the grenades admitting to the events but claiming no wrongdoing.
