A 25-year-old Swedish man was arrested in Copenhagen on Tuesday evening, found in possession of two hand grenades.

The arrest took place in the Tingbjerg area, with Denmark's national bomb squad involved in the operation.

This incident is part of a troubling trend where young Swedes are being recruited by Danish criminal gangs for illicit activities.

The suspect, reportedly from Småland, Sweden, is believed to have been planning an attack in Copenhagen.

A court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, with proceedings requested to be held behind closed doors.

This arrest follows a series of violent incidents linked to Swedish nationals in Denmark, highlighting a growing cross-border crime issue.
