The five accused were in detention hearings in Oslo District Court on May 12. It was then decided that three of them, a 19-years-old student, a 18-years-old and a 17-years-old will be detained.

Two of the five admit culpability

The 18-years-old has admitted being guilty of the accusation, but appealed the detention ruling. the imprisoned 17-years-old has likewise admitted involvement in the robbery.

The 19-years-old and the last two, respectively 16 and 17 years-old at the time of the incident, refuse in turn culpability. Marijana Lozic, which represents the oldest of the five accused, says that her client was imprisoned one week shorter than what the police requested.
