The bomb squad arrived in Arendal by helicopter on Wednesday morning, and are conducting investigations in a house.
The background for the whole thing is that a car with four people was stopped in the Arendal area until Wednesday night.
The driver was suspected of driving under the influence of drugs and a weapon was found in the car.
None of the four wanted to admit the weapon. This led to a house being searched.
– During the search, something that looked like an explosive body was found, says Helge Thorsvik at Arendal police station.
– Then it is natural to ask the bomb squad for assistance, as they have special expertise, he says.
The police have considered that it is not necessary to evacuate surrounding homes.
