A group of teenagers chased two people with a knife and an axe in Eidsvoll on Tuesday. The incident occurred in the town located about 60 kilometers north of Oslo. Police confirm the case has high priority due to the young age of those involved.
The suspects range from 13 to 17 years old according to authorities. Investigators have conducted multiple interviews with victims, witnesses, and suspects at the scene.
Police secured physical evidence and electronic traces during their investigation. The weapons believed used in the confrontation between several teenagers were recovered. Officials declined to specify the exact type of weapons found.
This marks the third serious incident involving teenagers reported in Eidsvoll within two weeks. Previous cases included an assault on a young boy and a mass brawl earlier in October.
The repeated violent episodes among local youth suggest concerning patterns emerging in this typically quiet Norwegian community. Police continue their investigation with additional interviews planned.
What measures might prevent further youth violence in smaller Norwegian towns? Local authorities face growing challenges addressing teenage crime in communities unaccustomed to such incidents.
