In a major crackdown, Agder police conducted a large-scale operation against a suspected criminal network in the region.

This coordinated action, described as one of the largest in Agder's history, led to the arrest of several individuals who are now facing pre-trial detention.

The operation involved a significant number of officers from across Agder and was part of a long-term investigation.

Deputy Police Chief Morten Sjustøl emphasized that this action is unrelated to the heightened threat level in Norway.

Details about the specific criminal activities involved have not been disclosed, but a press conference is scheduled to provide further information.
