Danish police arrested another young man Friday for complicity in the twin shootings that occurred here two weeks ago.

The suspect, whose name will not be made public, is expected to be presented for a preliminary closed-door hearing on Saturday, Xinhua reported citing a police press release.

Police had arrested and charged two men for having assisted the alleged perpetrator in the Copenhagen attacks in mid-February.

The two men, aged 19 and 22, have denied the charges but their detention have been extended for another month, police said.

The shootings in front of a cultural centre Feb 14 and at a synagogue Feb 15 left two people dead. The gunman was shot dead by police later in the day.
