Weapons, Sandefjord | Police: Masked, armed men robbed women at a party

The police went to a party in Sandefjord on the night of Saturday, following a report that two masked men with firearms had appeared.

The police inform NTB that there had been 15 adult women aged 40 to 60 at the party.

The women are said to have been robbed of their phones, money and jewellery.

– No one should have been physically injured, says operations manager Jan Kristian Johnsrud at the Søreast police district at around 6 o’clock on Sunday morning.

According to the operations manager, the women speak neither Norwegian nor English, and the police therefore did not immediately perceive that it was a robbery.

– But gradually we understand that they are threatened with weapons, says Johnsrud.

The perpetrators left the scene on foot, but a witness saw them get into a car not far from the scene. So far, no one has been arrested.

The police have reported the matter and started an investigation.

According to Johnsrud, the police are working with technical investigations, but do not want to go into more detail about what they will be working on. They will also check whether anything has been caught on any surveillance cameras, and whether cars may have filmed something.

In addition, an interpreter must be brought in so that the women can be questioned.
