Police in Trondheim are investigating a major theft at a construction site. Thieves stole tools valued at approximately 400,000 Norwegian kroner, equivalent to about $37,000 USD.
Officials confirmed the burglary occurred at a Skanska construction site. The area was fully fenced when the thieves gained entry.
Operational manager Marie Fossen stated in a police report that surveillance footage captured one individual at the scene. Police have secured the video evidence and conducted a forensic investigation.
A criminal case has been officially opened. The investigation continues as authorities review the security footage.
Construction site thefts remain a persistent problem across Norway, particularly targeting high-value equipment. The substantial value of this theft suggests organized criminal activity rather than opportunistic crime.
Norwegian construction sites typically implement security measures, but this incident shows even fenced areas remain vulnerable to determined thieves.
