No suspect had been arrested by lunchtime on Saturday. It is unclear exactly what exploded.

The company which deals with cars hopes to get an answer on who is behind it.

– We have surveillance cameras and hope to have captured someone on CCTV, says the company owners’ friend who helps out at the company.

– Someone put a bomb there or something. It's a bit crazy. I'm a little surprised more than scared, he says.

– There are no major damages.

The company is expected to be open as usual today on Monday.
