Chinese news agency Xinhua reported on 7 September 2023 in details on the cooperation between Sweden and Norway to combat gang crime.
The two Scandinavian neighbours decided to build a new police station on the border, in order to strengthen overall cooperation and to prevent gang crime from expanding across borders, said the two countries police chiefs on 6 September in a press release.
This happens after it has been revealed that Norwegian crime have links to Sweden, and vice-versa, according to Norway’s National Police Commissioner Benedicte Bjornland:
“This could concern the smuggling of drugs, access to weapons or Swedish gang members carrying out violent missions in Norway. Sharing knowledge is important to facilitate a joint preventive effort.”
Xinhua further highlighted a quote from Sweden’s National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg, who stressed the following:
“It’s about strengthening safety and security, which can only be done by working together.”
