Arrest on Larsbjørnsstræde: two men removed from basement shop
Two men were arrested on Sunday morning on Larsbjørnsstræde in central Copenhagen and removed whilst wearing forensic suits, according to TV 2 Nyheder.
Duty chief at Copenhagen Police Rune Nørgaard confirms their presence: "We are here to investigate a suspicious matter," he says.
According to an Ekstra Bladet reporter at the scene, the two men were removed from a basement shop and placed in separate police cars. Police are currently not disclosing what the men are charged with, or whether anyone has been injured. The duty chief emphasises that there is no danger to citizens in the area.
Earlier in the day, police were at another address in connection with a report of an attempted rape. According to chief investigator Jesper Schroll, however, the arrests are not immediately related to that report – he tells Ekstra Bladet this.
Ekstra Bladet also reports that the outlet earlier in the morning saw a picture of a woman who, wearing a forensic suit, was led into a police car. According to the outlet, there is nothing to suggest that she has been arrested in the case.
