Seven Charged After Missile Fired at Danish Home with Family Inside

An anti-tank missile was fired at a terraced house in the Danish town of Glostrup while two adults and three children were sleeping inside. A total of seven people have now been arrested and charged in connection with the incident, which occurred in the early hours of April 23.

The missile was fired from a distance of only 15 meters. Of the seven arrested individuals, four are believed to have played central roles. Their arrests were the result of a collaborative effort involving Danish, German, and Swedish police, along with Europol. The suspects include six men aged between 23 and 28, and one 21-year-old woman.

"The investigation is ongoing, and we cannot rule out further arrests in the case," stated Deputy Police Inspector Morten Rosendal in a press release. According to the police, the attack was part of a conflict within the criminal environment. Although the missile did not explode upon impact with the house, it caused an explosion that resulted in extensive material damage, police reported.

Media outlets Se & Hør and Ekstra Bladet have previously reported that the attack was connected to a conflict within the motorcycle club scene.
