According to TV2, citing Ritsau, two people were arrested at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark and are in custody awaiting extradition to Sweden.
The news report stated that police found a young girl at Copenhagen Airport early on Friday after the child was likely abducted from an address in Sweden a few hours earlier, according to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet on Saturday morning, according to the source.
A judge in a Copenhagen city court ordered on Friday evening that two people arrested at the same time be detained until they can be extradited to Sweden, according to Copenhagen police.
Swedish media reported that the kidnapping took place in southern Sweden.
Reports indicate that the girl's mother was threatened with having to hand over her daughter, who apparently headed to the Danish airport accompanied by two adults. However, police stopped the two adults and the child, according to sources cited by the newspaper Aftonbladet and other sources. It is unclear whether there is a biological relationship between the detainees and the girl.
But the prosecutor leading the so-called preliminary investigation declined to comment further.
Two people arrested
In Copenhagen police, Kenneth Simonsen, the lead investigator, told BT, citing TV2, that two people were arrested on Friday at 7:30 a.m.
On Friday evening, the judge decided to keep the two detainees in pretrial detention.
It was unclear whether there was a biological relationship between the detainees and the child.
In Denmark, there are occasional cases where a child is taken abroad by the biological father or mother, even though the other parent has custody, and it was unclear on Saturday whether the Swedish case involved anything similar.
