Danish police officer moves to Sweden

Denmark's Minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard (S) announces that Danish police will be stationed permanently in Sweden. The message comes after several Swedish teenagers have been arrested suspected of involvement in attempted murder in the country.

Hummelgaard has previously stated to TT that it is deeply unacceptable that Swedish citizens travel to Denmark to commit violent crimes.

After an explosion in Copenhagen on Tuesday, the minister stated that he refuses to accept Swedish conditions in Denmark.

Therefore, the Danish police will intensify cooperation with the Swedish police by permanently stationing a police officer with the Swedish police. This is to ensure even more stable and effective intelligence work, he says to Ritzau.

According to Sydsvenskan, a Danish police officer will be permanently stationed in Malmö. A Swedish police officer will receive a corresponding position in Copenhagen.

This will increase speed, says Nils Norling, press spokesperson for the Malmö police to the newspaper.

Does not rule out border controls

Denmark is also not ruling out border controls against Sweden. Hummelgaard emphasizes, however, that nothing indicates that border controls could have prevented the recent violent crimes.

On Tuesday evening, a man and a woman in their 25s were arrested at the Öresund Bridge in Sweden. Both are suspected of a bombing against a convenience store in Copenhagen.

The Copenhagen police tell TT that they have requested the extradition of the individuals to Denmark.

According to the Swedish police, it concerns two Swedish citizens.

This is a Danish investigation, but right now, these two individuals are sitting in Malmö. They are Swedish citizens, says police spokesperson Nils Norling to TT.

Gross violent crimes

The past week has seen several incidents where young Swedes are suspected of committing gross violent crimes in Denmark.

On Tuesday afternoon, a 17-year-old Swedish boy was arrested, suspected of attempted murder after a shooting against an 18-year-old in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen.

And after two shootings in Denmark last Wednesday, a 16-year-old Swedish boy and a 17-year-old Swedish boy have been arrested for suspected involvement. One of the shootings took place in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, the other in Kolding.
