Police and juvenile authorities had to be called out to a shopping center near Bergen this week, to take control over three drunken boys. The youngest of them was just 12 years old.
Bjørn Hagen of the Bergen police department is shaken over the incident. "It happens that we get calls about intoxicated youth, but not this young," he told avisen Vestnytt. "It's worrisome."
The boys were first approached by security guards at the Sartor shopping center in Fjell, outside Bergen. "They apparently got aggressive when they were spoken to," Hagen said. "We called their parents, who came and picked them up."
He said the juvenile authorities were called as a matter of routine. The boys were clearly intoxicated, according to the security guards.
Shopping center management was also upset over the incident. "It's tragic when such young children gain access to alcohol," said center leader Mette-Nora Sætre.
Meanwhile, in Oslo, an 18-year-old student at a local high school was convicted to 120 days in jail for carrying a loaded pistol around school property for several days last fall.
The student at Sogn Videregående Skole was also charged with use of narcotics, after being caught smoking hash in a police crackdown on drugs at the school. The gun fell out of his pocket while police were searching him last September 19.
