Norway

Expelled criminals return

The number of break-ins and aggravated theft from Norwegian homes have increased by more than 30 per cent over the last five years. Many of the crriminals have been expelled from Norway, but have returned several times.

Most of these criminals come from Albania, Lithuania and Romania, according to the police.

- A deportation from Norway is not very effective. No sooner are they transported out of the country, before they are back again, says attorney Morten Reppen.

The Norwegian government this week announced that it will now speed up the work with transferring East European criminals to their homeland to serve their sentence there.
