The event was organized by the motorcycle gang Comanches, according to a press release from the Norwegian police.

In October 2024, Norway's Supreme Court banned the motorcycle gang Satudarah to "prevent serious crime." According to the Norwegian police, the Comanches are essentially the same organization under a different name.

The arrests were made under Norwegian legislation that prohibits participation in criminal organizations.

Among those who attended Saturday's gathering were, in addition to Norwegians, Danes and Swedes. However, it is unclear whether any of the Swedes were arrested.
