Busy night for the police: – Up to a thousand partying in the park

It has been another night of party noise in several places in the country. On Sunday morning, the police estimate that there were up to 1000 people gathered in Nygårdsparken in Bergen on Sunday night.

This is what operations manager Eivind Hellesund tells us Bergens Tidende.

He says the police see a clear trend, and believes it is related to the ban on having more than two guests in private homes.

According to Bergensavisen took the cleanup work in the park several hours Sunday morning. Pictures show a lot of rubbish strewn around the park.

– Peeing in gardens

Operations Manager Terje Magnussen tells Dagbladet that it is difficult to estimate exactly how many people were present in the park.

– There were a lot of young people. At one time, nine music facilities were shut down. Many had walked around and peed in the gardens, and there was a lot of noise.

But no one has been reported for any conditions. It also depends on capacity, says Magnussen.

– When there are up to 1000 people, the police do not have the capacity to reach everywhere. We must take what we think is worst, because others must also get help. I think it’s a shame. I understand that people want to be out and enjoy the nice weather, but we are in the middle of a pandemic, and we must pay attention. We have to stand in it a little longer, he encourages.

There were also larger gatherings in several other places in the city. Among other places in Skjoldabukten south of Bergen.

– Here there were many russ, young adults and minors. There was a lot of intoxication. That’s what’s going on again.

A total of 29 assignments were logged regarding disturbance of night peace, says the operations manager.

– We have had many messages, but fortunately not so serious.

– Violent impressions

The night’s party has left an enormous clean-up effort for Bergen municipality.

– I have never encountered anything like this, says section leader for road operations Arild Gundersen in the Urban Environment Agency to Bergens Tidende.

To Dagbladet, he elaborates:

– In Bergen it is probably now ten degrees during the day and two degrees in the evening. When you see how young people gather in public places at that temperature at this time of year, there is something reasonably new. I do not think it would happen in normal times.

– It makes some violent impressions, he says about all the rubbish left in the park.

At 09 o’clock he says that the cleaning work is still going on. It started around 5am Sunday morning.

– This is a notified incident, so it is manned. But there are large areas. It is not possible to run a broom machine on the lawn.

He says that there have been some complaints at the party, but that it seemed that people “have some understanding that it will be as it is”.

–

– The frustration is that it is not cleaned afterwards. Most people understand that this is a special situation, and if society were normal, the parks would not be used like that.

– It is positive that the park is used. But you are left with the rubbish, not the positive that the parks are used.

Parties around the country

Many were also gathered in the capital on Saturday night. Among other things at Huk on Bygdøy in Oslo, where it is estimated that a hundred young people were gathered, writes NTB.

– We are there with a police boat and two police cars, and will continue to be on site throughout the evening, said task manager Martin Martinsen in the Oslo police district to VG.

The task leader says that around 150 people must have run from the place when the police arrived. according to Aftenposten for a while the police set up roadblocks on the way out to Bygdøy.

Party riots have also been reported in several other places in the country. In Ås, the police in the East have received several reports of the accumulation of drugs and other young people.

In Byremo in Lyngdal, 250-300 young people gathered on Saturday night in connection with a robbery meeting.

– If many people forget the infection control rules, we can get new outbreaks related to attachment. It is of course better to gather outdoors than indoors, but it is not without risk of infection if you forget the meter and are with many people, says assistant health director Espen Rostrup Nakstad to NTB.
