Controls at the Danish-Swedish border are now being tightened, announces Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard (S).
This means, among other things, that Danish police will increase their presence on trains arriving in Denmark from Sweden.
The police will also receive more resources to monitor and analyze the ANPG cameras at the border, writes the Ministry of Justice in a press release.
ANPG cameras are used to scan license plates on cars.
“As part of the police’s significant effort to put an end to these incidents, the police are now also strengthening the effort at the border against Sweden,” states the minister of justice in the press release.
The announcement comes in the wake of several incidents where young Swedes have been detained for crimes in Denmark in recent times.
Some of the cases are believed to be linked to a confrontation within the criminal environment and individuals with ties to Sweden.
Police in both Denmark and Sweden have described that young Swedish men are being recruited and paid to come to Denmark.
The press release highlights that the investigative efforts of the Copenhagen Police will be strengthened with a focus on, among other things, prosecuting those who order and involve Swedes in Danish conflicts.
It has also previously been announced that Danish police will station Danish officers in Sweden, just as Swedish officers will be stationed in Denmark.
