Hah thats nothing, Germany has had 414 detonations in 2020 only related to busting ATMs. [0]

Apparently we had 1645 cases of "Herbeiführen einer Sprengstoffexplosion" which is roughly translated as "causing a detonation of explosives". [1] Many of them were probably not that bad but bad enough that the police got involved. Thats 4.5 cases a day.

On the other hand, sweden is only about 1/8th of the population of germany so that levels these numbers a bit.

There's absolutely a fuck-ton more than show up in the statistics. Pretty much each time you thought "why are people firing fireworks it's not new year" that's a potential case. Most cases never make it to the police and even then many are probably going to be filed away under "oh that mardy pensioner again, wake us when it's a regular occurrence and you can actually name suspects".
