Danish police on Monday announced that they had seized a whopping amount of 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of explosives and also arrested two men in connection to the seizure.
In a statement yesterday, Henrik Andersen, head of the operation of the Police said, ‘We have seized a record amount of explosives, which we are of course very relieved to know is no longer in the hands of criminals’.
Reports say that on Sunday, officers confiscated the 206.4 kilograms of explosives from a shed in a residential area in southern Copenhagen, but police did not specify what type of explosives were stored there.

Police also didn’t disclose any details on a potential target or use for the explosives.
The two men arrested, aged 21 and 54 and whose identities were not revealed, are suspected of possessing explosives ‘under particularly aggravating circumstances‘.
However, both men have denied the allegations.
