A series of violent incidents in Denmark, including shootings and a grenade attack, may be rooted in a conflict over drug trafficking involving the banned gang, Loyal To Familia (LTF), and another criminal group. According to a conflict note from the National Agency for Special Crimes (NSK), episodes such as the shooting at Blågårds Plads and an attack on a jewelry store in Frederiksberg are linked to the ongoing conflict between these two groups.
The most recent incident, a grenade attack on a kiosk at Hans Knudsens Plads, also points to this rivalry. The police have identified two Swedish citizens, a 24-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, as suspects in this case. They were arrested on the Swedish side of the Øresund Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden. A Danish court has decided to detain them in absentia.
The shooting last week in Kolding, where a man was injured in the leg, serves as another example of the violent conflict between LTF and an unnamed Danish-Swedish group. Members of LTF have been accused of stealing a drug shipment, which is believed to have triggered these violent confrontations.
This conflict highlights the potential dangers of gang-related violence, which not only harms those directly involved but also poses a threat to the safety of ordinary citizens. The situation requires ongoing monitoring and action from law enforcement to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
