East Jutland Police have arrested two men, aged 39 and 42, in connection with a robbery that occurred at a residence in Randers NV. The incident took place on Thursday when the suspects allegedly approached a 47-year-old man at his home.

During the confrontation, the victim reported that the perpetrators threatened him with a knife. They demanded and received a watch and the keys to the man's car, which was subsequently stolen. The police were alerted to the incident shortly after.

Investigators were able to identify the two suspects, who were arrested on Friday. The breakthrough came after the 47-year-old victim recognized one of the assailants. Both arrested individuals are scheduled for a preliminary hearing at the Randers Court on Saturday, where they face charges of robbery against a person in their own home. Police are also investigating whether the robbery may be linked to a financial dispute.
