Out-of-control blazes and police attacks have plagued Sweden since July with more than 70 cars being set alight. Express.co.uk reported on Wednesday that the number of "no-go" zones has increased to 55 as the country has seen a huge surge in crime since the start of the migrants crisis in Europe with a rise in sex assaults, drug dealing and children carrying weapons. Three police officers are handing in their notices daily in Sweden following the increased violence and the arsonist thugs’ assaults have now turned into an epidemic as Denmark faces its third night of car blazes.

Copenhagen officers were called out in the early hours on Thursday as yet another vehicle was in flames after thugs broke into a side window and covered it with gasoline. Spokesperson Henrik Vedel said the police received the emergency call about two cars on a side street burning out, shortly after 2am. He added: “Both cars were more or less burned out.”

Copenhagen police have now launched a manhunt for two suspects, after a witness said they spotted to people leaving the site as the flames erupted from the vehicles. It is the first lead the officers have after arresting a 21-year-old man for the first batch of fires. Express.co.uk exclusively revealed on Tuesday that police were struggling to end the month long car-fire rampage which has plagued the capital, due to lack of suspects.

The escalating violence in Denmark comes as the Malmö fire attacks and assaults on the police have spread to Gothenburg. Overnight angry youths wreaked havoc in the city in south Sweden after officials cracked down on criminal activity in the area. The rampaging thugs launched a fierce attack on the on-duty officers with stones and firecrackers. Hans Lippens, of the Gothenburg police, said the aggression was sparked by the hardline-approach taken to stop the increasing levels of crime in the area.
