Last evening in Oslo . . . a teenage boy leapt into a street stall in Hoybraten at 4pm and stole 4,000 kroner. While he threatened her with a knife, the 57-year-old woman who worked there leapt outside and biked off . . . The 16-year-old boy is originally from Macedonia. He came to Norway when four years old, is a Norwegian citizen and speaks fluent Norwegian. Yet one can clearly see that he is of foreign origin. - Aftenposten (both entries sent in by Ross Brown)
