Swedish police to be posted to Denmark to try to stop gangs recruiting children

FALCON POWERS – Cross-border cooperation comes as Danish gangs use children from Sweden to commit violent crimes

Swedish police are to be based in Denmark on a preventive basis for the first time in an effort to stop children and young people from Sweden travelling to Copenhagen to commit violent crime on behalf of Danish gangs.

From next week officers from southern Sweden will be permanently posted in Copenhagen, while Danish officers have already joined the Swedish operation room in Malmö.

The unprecedented cross-border arrangements come after a series of serious incidents in the last month – including deadly shootings and possession of weapons such as hand grenades – involving suspects from neighbouring Sweden.

Swedish police said children as young as 12 were being recruited by Danish gangs on social media to cross the border by car or public transport in order to commit crimes.
