The Vipps robberies in Oslo – 16-year-old sentenced to prison and juvenile punishment – Greater Oslo

– He is familiar with the sentence, but needs to familiarize himself a little more concretely with the whole sentence and what it entails, says the 16-year-old’s defender, Cecilia Dinardi. In early summer there was a wave of so-called Vipps robberies in Oslo. Within a few days, there were eight such robberies. In each of the cases, several children were robbed at the same time. The victims were under the age of 12. Now a 16-year-old has been convicted of seven of the Vipps robberies. The Vipps robberies took place here The 16-year-old has been sentenced for: Monday 27 May Oslo City at 2.25 pm Saturday 1 June Helsfyr subway station at 3.15 pm Dælenenga football ground at 4.20 pm McDonalds Helgesens gate at 4.40 pm McDonalds Klingenberg at 7.30 pm McDonalds Storo at 8.20 pm Bus stop in Storgata at 22.00 Source: The verdict from the Oslo District Court Guilty on all counts At the beginning of October, the 16-year-old faced charges in the Oslo District Court for violence as well as robbery and attempted robbery of a total of 19 boys in Oslo. 17 of them were victims of so-called Vipps robberies. The 16-year-old pleaded guilty to all charges except an attempted robbery. Now he has been found guilty of all 22 counts of the indictment. Besides the Vipps robberies, he has been found guilty of several other matters. He has also been found guilty of: Robbery of a 16-year-old boy at Helsfyr subway station Violence against a 12-year-old boy at Ellingsrud subway station Complicity in a robbery of a 12-year-old boy at Grünerløkka Possession of 8.44 grams hash in his room Show more He has been sentenced to prison for six months. And when the sentence is over, he will go directly to a two-year youth sentence. – Correct reaction The sentence is the same as the prosecutor asked for when the case was before the court. – We think this is the right reaction, says police attorney Vilde Nergaard. From 1 September, it has been possible to sentence young offenders to prison in combination with a youth sentence. – Youth punishment is a reaction to freedom, and it is a reaction that the conflict council is responsible for implementing.

It may, among other things, contain school, work, courses or measures under the auspices of the municipality or child protection. – The most important thing is that it should be a punishment based on individual needs aimed at the individual young person. Lawyer for the 16-year-old and reaction to the verdict Lawyer Cecilia Dinardi spoke to her client on Tuesday afternoon and informed him of the verdict. She will not say anything about how the 16-year-old reacted. – We will now spend time reviewing the judgment thoroughly. My client and I. And make sure he understands it well.

The convicted boy must pay a total of NOK 250,000 in compensation and restitution. The 16-year-old who has now been sentenced was not alone when the robberies were committed. He took turns with two other boys. A 13-year-old and a 14-year-old. The 13-year-old was also charged with a Vipps robbery at Storo together with a 12-year-old. The cases against the boys aged 12, 13 and 14 have been fully investigated. Since these boys are under the criminal minimum age, child protection has been given responsibility for following them up. How can the Child and Family Agency in Oslo not intervene. But in such cases it is most common for the children to be followed up at home or during their free time. In some cases, the children have to move to an institution and be followed up there. Accused of rape Recently it became known that the 16-year-old has also been charged with rape of an underage boy. The rape is said to have taken place at the end of August. Two months after he was released from custody after the Vipps robberies. The 16-year-old pleads not guilty. According to the police, a good part of the investigation has been done in the case, but they are still waiting for some analyses. Published 05.11.2024, at 15.04 Updated 05.11.2024, at 15.14
