Soon, people who want to visit the town hall in Oslo will have to go through a metal detector, and their belongings will be checked before they are allowed in.
Oslo City Hall is introducing something similar to “airport control” as part of its work to tighten security, Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reports.
“We have not quite figured out how it will look like, but it will be something along those lines,” City Hall manager Marit Jansen said.
When an experiment was carried out with a similar security check of tourists in the summer of 2019, around 1,100 unwanted objects were found during a ten-week period, including knives, batons, and pepper spray.
In a normal year, about 300,000 people visit Oslo City Hall. The goal is to have the new security regime in place before the summer.
