MALMO, Sweden, June 1 (UPI) -- A Swedish man convicted of possessing several sticks of dynamite initially told investigators he thought the tubes were sausages.
Police said the 50-year-old Malmo man, whose name was not released, was charged with possessing illegal explosives after investigators found several pounds of dynamite hidden in a plastic bag in his apartment, Swedish news agency TT/The Local.se reported Friday.
The man initially told police the bag had been left at his residence by a friend and he had thought they were sausages.
However, the man later admitted to recognizing the dynamite and said he had used it to blast holes for ice fishing.
Police said the dynamite could have had devastating consequences for the neighborhood if it had detonated in the man's apartment.
The man was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine equivalent to 60 days' worth of income.
