A bomb threat on the Stockholm island of Södermalm saw hundreds of workers forced to leave their offices on Monday morning. Police and bomb technicians remain on the scene.

The threat was called in via telephone at 8.30am on Monday for Sankt Paulsgatan on Södermalm. All 165 employees at the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) were told to leave the building, as were employees at nearby offices and buildings.

The area, which is right by the corner of the Oliver Twist pub, was cordoned off by police soon after, and remained closed off at 11.30.

Police have launched an investigation into aggravated illegal threats (grovt olaga hot), reported the TT news agency.
