Three arrested with fake guns at Jyllands-Posten

From the Danish edition of the Local

Amid heightened tensions and increased security in the aftermath of last week’s terror attack in Paris, three men were arrested for what appears to be a prank involving fake weapons near the office of Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

East Jutland Police wrote in a press release on Monday that a routine check of a “suspicious vehicle” near Jyllands-Posten’s offices in Viby on Sunday night turned temporarily dramatic when the driver attempted to elude police. Police shortly thereafter stopped the vehicle and upon approach spotted what appeared to be both an automatic weapon and a pistol. Both, however, turned out to be fakes. 

The three men in the car – two 21-year-olds and a 19-year-old, all from Aarhus – were arrested and charged with making death threats for driving around with visible “weapons” near Jyllands-Posten and cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. 
 
They also face fencing charges, as police believe the false weapons came from a previous break-in. A subsequent search of the suspects’ home also turned up illegal pepper spray and fireworks and some cannabis, which led to additional charges.

The article says nothing about what sort of young men these were,but this is the sort of thing that goes on in their home town.
