Four Swedes have been arrested in Oslo. All of them can be linked to a Swedish gang criminal network, which according to unconfirmed reports may be Shottaz, reports NRK.

The police in Norway believe that the Swedish criminal network is trying to gain a foothold in the capital.

It was last week that three people were arrested at a hotel in Oslo. The police seized a pistol and a bag of cash. The fourth was arrested in Sweden and extradited to Norway. All four can be linked to the same criminal network, but they are suspected of different crimes. Two of the men, both in their 20s, had been wanted after a serious robbery in December. The other two are suspected of theft and weapons offenses. All four have previously been convicted of various crimes in Sweden, including drug offenses, violent crimes, and fraud, according to NRK.

This network has committed many different types of crimes. Everything from serious drug offenses, fraud, theft, possession of firearms and threats, says prosecutor Johannes Hafsahl to NRK, who describes the network as multi-criminal.
