Suspect Arrested After Norwegian Police Find ‘Bomb-Like Device’ in Oslo

Police in Norway have made an arrest on Saturday after finding a “bomb-like device” in central Oslo.

One day after the fatal truck attack that took place in neighboring Sweden, police in Oslo cordoned off a city shopping district after finding the device.

Per Reuters:

“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.

The device had appeared to be capable of causing only a limited amount of damage, the police said earlier.

According to the AP, the police Twitter account confirmed that they have a suspect in custody.
