Firearms found in Gentofte
04. mar. 2010 10.39 EnglishResidents of a housing block in the Ved Ungdomsboligerne neighbourhood in Gentofte were evacuated last night after police made an explosive discovery in the basement.
- We found a basement room containing 14 firearms, ammunitions, hand grenades, and a box which could be a bomb, says Henrik Svindt, leader of the gang-related crimes squad in the Copenhagen Police.
An army bomb squad was called in, and it was their assessment that moving the box would be too dangerous.
The owner of the basement room has been arrested. He is not known by the police to have any relation with the ongoing gang conflict, but police nonetheless think that the recovered weapons may be connected to the conflict.
