COPENHAGEN, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Danish police are investigating two car arson cases in which scores of cars have been burnt in the capital city of Copenhagen over the weekend.
More than 10 cars were torched on Sunday and at least seven others were burnt on Monday morning, the Danish police said Monday.
Most of the cars were burnt in the capital's downtown areas, the police said in a statement.
The arson cases came after over 70 cars have been burnt out in the southern Swedish city of Malmo, the country's third largest city linked to Copenhagen via the Oresund Bridge, since July.
The police said there is no connection between the fire cases in Denmark and Sweden yet.
"It is still too early to say this could have a connection to the fires that have happened in Sweden," police spokesman Rasmus Skovsgaard said in a press release.
"We won't tolerate the systematic burning of cars in the streets of Copenhagen," he said.
Skovsgaard was quoted by local media as saying that Copenhagen police are in dialogue with their Swedish counterparts and measures would be taken to ensure that the Copenhagen car fires will not continue.
