The Local Norway May 17, 2026
The Oslo police arrested 27 men on Saturday, May 16, 2026, during a raid on a gathering hosted by the outlaw motorcycle gang Comanches MC at a local marina.
The Investigation and Legal Charges
• The Gang’s Identity: Authorities stated that they consider Comanches MC to be a direct continuation of Satudarah MC, a criminal biker group officially banned by Norway’s Supreme Court in October 2024 due to a history of violent crime, extortion, and drug trafficking.
• Penal Code Violations: The arrested individuals range in age from their early 20s to their 50s. All face charges under Section 199 of Norway’s penal code, which explicitly targets participation in a criminal association.
• International Scope: The gathering included biker gang participants travelling from Sweden and Denmark, alongside local Norwegian members.
Next Steps and Border Control
• Custody Hearings: The Oslo police announced they are reviewing whether to bring the suspects before a court to request them to be remanded in custody, with hearings expected no earlier than Monday.
• Deportation Orders: For the foreign nationals detained during the marina raid, Norwegian authorities are actively evaluating the issuance of formal deportation orders to remove them from the country.
