Oslo: Gang raids nab 27
The raids extended across the southeastern police districts of Oslo, Follo, Romerike and Asker and Bærum.
"First and foremost we have visited the 'top assistants' this time," Iver Stensrud, head of the Organized Crime division at Oslo police told Aftenposten.no.
Stensrud said that the operation had not targeted any specific gang, but spread out to over 50 addresses in Oslo and Akershus County.
Police said it was important to demonstrate the risk of police attention even for those a bit lower down on the criminal ladder.
"We have confiscated a not insignificant amount of drugs - among others, opium, amphetamine, hashish and GBH," Stensrud said. He said that police had also recovered about 100 stolen bank cards, credit cards and drivers licenses.
"In relation to our goals and expectations this went as we hoped and expected. We are very satisfied with the action and the effort that was made," Stensrud said.
