OFF THE WIRE
Finnish police are collaborating with their Estonian counterparts on a case involving motorcycle gangs who are suspected of links to organized crime and drug dealing.
Recently, Estonian police raided the rooms of motorcycle gangs based in Tallinn and found evidence of drug crimes, as well as that of significant profits made from drugs trade.Elmar Vaher, prefect of the Police and Border Guard Board's North Prefecture, would not identify the nationalities of those involved, however Helsingin Sanomat reported that Finnish law enforcement authorities are cooperating on the case, and said that Finnish motorcycle gangs have recently expanded their activities to Tallinn.
The police say they have enough evidence to continue the investigation and the case will most probably be transferred to the prosecutor’s office within the year.
