Four arrested after armed robbery in Asker – NRK Oslo and Viken – Local news, TV and radio

Police received reports at 4:30 this afternoon of an armed robbery against a Joker store in Billingstad in Asker. Four people were seen running from the site.

Gun is threatened, but there are no reports of injuries, according to Oslo police.

There was an employee inside the room during the robbery, but no other visitors.

Four youths under the age of 18 were arrested shortly after the arrival of the police. Two of those arrested were removed from the case.

But the four perpetrators should now be arrested.

Property probably taken from the store during the robbery was found along with the fourth perpetrator, who was arrested in a nearby forest area.

Among other things, police dogs are used to track them. Police have yet to find a weapon.

There were many police patrols and helicopters at the scene for the search, says operations manager Gjermund Stokkli.

– Four people must have been inside the store and threatened with a gun. There is now a major police operation in the area, Stokkli said earlier this afternoon.

Acting leader Magnus Strande also confirms this to NRK.

– This is a serious incident, so there have been large police forces at the scene, says Strande.

Police say that both child welfare and parents will be involved.
