The police expressed that they have good knowledge of the local actors, some of whom have been followed by the police over time. – We have examples of local youth taking the step from youth crime to becoming heavily involved with key players in the Swedish criminal networks.

ALARM: The alarm must now go to the government, says Helge Andr\u00e9 Nj\u00e5stad, chairman of the justice committee in the Storting. Photo: Bror Kvammen Bjerke \/ news Nj\u00e5stad believes that Norway now appears as a more attractive country in which to conduct crime. This as he believes the risk of being caught is low. – Minister of Justice Mehl has no concrete measures to come up with, nor any idea of \u200b\u200bhow to reverse cross-border crime. This means that Norway is constantly on the defensive and reacts reactively, while the criminals are allowed to be on the offensive so that they can constantly infiltrate more of our society, says Nj\u00e5stad further. news has asked the Prime Minister’s office for a comment on Nj\u00e5stad’s statements. The Prime Minister’s office refers to the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness, which has so far not responded to news’s \u200b\u200binquiry.

CONCERNED: Member of the justice committee, Sandra Borch (Sp), is concerned about the development. Photo: Ksenia Novikova \/ news She believes that part of the reason for the rise of criminal circles and drug use is due to the previous government’s desire to decriminalize narcotic drugs. – The Solberg government brought up a debate on legalisation, which fortunately was voted down in the Storting. But the perception among young people out there is that this is the law today. She herself believes that it is important to work together to “break these environments”. – The police in Troms\u00f8 have done a good job of uncovering criminal circles, but I also think there are large numbers of dark figures. Arrested eight people When the Troms police district started investigating a case with local actors in January, they saw early leads to Sweden, Myrvoll could say. – We have uncovered a well-organized and professional network, which over a long period of time has traded large quantities of drugs in Troms and Northern Norway. The relationship with the Swedish network goes back several years, and we see that large amounts of cash are transported from Troms\u00f8 to Sweden and Oslo, said Myrvoll. Through the investigation of the case, the police have so far uncovered, among other things, several travel routes. Eight people have been arrested in the case, one of whom is still in custody. Those arrested were arrested in two different operations, Myrvoll could say. – In this connection, drugs, money and firearms have been seized. Four of the eight arrested have been in custody as a result of the case. The case is still under investigation. Published 12.06.2024, at 08.36 Updated 12.06.2024, at 16.59
