Hundige is a suburb 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-west of Copenhagen. The town has a relatively high rate of crime, most of which are committed in the large housing project called Askerød in the northern part of the suburb [1]. The housing project called Gersagerparken has also been known for criminal activity such as Drive-by shooting, by being the previous home to the gang Black Cobra (gang), before the gang moved to the town Ishøj and Karlslunde[2]. Gersagerparken has seen a decrease in criminal activity since then, the biggest being a raid on potential terrorist producing bombs [3]. The suburb was originally a small town, but was made to a suburb in the 1960s.
The Hundige StorCenter a large shopping mall was built in 1974 and the suburb was connected with the S-train network in 1976. Today Hundige StorCenter is called Waves after a re-opening in 2009.
