Denmark will tighten controls at its borders to Sweden after Copenhagen has seen a rising number of shootings by Swedish perpetrators, Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said in an interview broadcast by TV2.
Danish police will increase inspections in trains crossing the border via the Oresund bridge connecting the two Scandinavian countries and will also allocate more resources to use surveillance cameras at the crossing, the minister told TV2.
