Teenagers express remorse after grenade attack on Strømmen sushi restaurant
Two teenagers who threw a hand grenade into a sushi restaurant in Strømmen have pleaded guilty and said they regret the act, which caused damage but no injuries.
During proceedings at the Romerike and Glomdal district court, a 16-year-old confessed to hurling a hand grenade into a sushi restaurant in Strømmen, where four patrons were present. The device detonated, leaving a hole in the floor but causing no physical harm. He expressed sincere remorse, stating he would have preferred a summer job. The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to negligent participation. Both defendants claim they were contracted by the Foxtrot network and coordinated the attack via a Signal chat group. They are charged under the so-called mafia paragraph, which carries a harsher penalty.
Why it matters
The case highlights how organized criminal networks can involve minors in violent attacks, raising concerns about youth exploitation and public safety.
