Crime in Denmark

Danish police said they arrested on Feb. 27 a third alleged accomplice in the Copenhagen shootings, nearly two weeks after the attacks that killed two people.
      
The suspect is "charged with complicity in the perpetrator's actions" and will appear before a judge on Saturday for a custody hearing, police said in a statement.
      

Two men have been arrested and charged with helping the attacker who killed two people in Copenhagen at the weekend, the BBC reported on Monday.

Danish police have accused the two men of providing the weapon to the gunman and helping him get rid of it. They are also charged with assisting the perpetrator to hide.

Two men were charged on Monday with helping the gunman who killed two people in twin attacks in Copenhagen at the weekend, a lawyer said.
      
"They are not charged with terrorism but they are charged with having helped the perpetrator get rid of a weapon and giving him a hiding place," the lawyer of one of the men, Michael Juul Eriksen, told AFP.
     

Copenhagen police said on Feb. 15 they  believe a man shot dead by officers was responsible for two fatal attacks that shocked the normally peaceful Danish capital.
      
The killings, coming little more than a month after bloody Islamist attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead, were described by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt as "a cynical act of terror".
