Danish police have arrested and charged two men in connection with a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack on a terraced house in Glostrup. The incident, which occurred on the night of April 23rd, involved the firing of a powerful anti-tank weapon at a residential property on Rรธdkรฆlkevej on Copenhagen's western outskirts.
Despite the severity of the weapon used, no injuries were reported during the attack. The Glostrup Court has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday at 1:15 PM, where prosecutors are expected to request the pre-trial detention of the two arrested men. As of late morning, the specific charges against the individuals have not been publicly disclosed by the police.
Reports from Danish media suggest the attack may stem from a conflict within the biker community. Specifically, it is believed to be related to disputes between individuals associated with the Hells Angels' Kokkedal chapter and former members who have since relocated abroad. The exact nature of these alleged connections and the motive behind the attack remain under investigation.
This incident highlights a rare but serious escalation of violence involving heavy weaponry in a civilian area. The police investigation is ongoing, with further details expected following the court hearing.
