Scores arrested in massive police raid

The police arrested 22 people as part of a huge co-ordinated raid on 22 addresses in east Jutland yesterday.

The 22 people arrested all have connections to organised crime and biker gangs in Denmark and 17 of them are expected to be charged today in Randers.

“The planned action took place as part of a longer investigation into organised crime, which is the core area of Task Force West,” Southeast Jutland Police said.

“The raids and arrests took place in close co-operation with East Jutland Police.”
