Stricter border controls have been enforced, which include a passport requirement for Swedes crossing into Denmark. This follows increasing violence in Malmo, which is believed to be gang related, involving drugs money protection and retaliation. It is estimated there are about a dozen criminal gangs now operating.

A 15-year-old boy in Malmo was shot and killed, and another boy critically injured on Saturday.
