Association of the Nordic Police Corps urges the authorities to reintroduce border controls between countries in the Schengen area.
It is the growing crime rate related to the Baltic states that makes police in the Nordic region want a return to the old days when people had to go through passport control to cross borders, Norwegian newspaper VG reports.
- What happens in the Baltic countries is severe. People from these countries account for 80 percent of the organized crime perpetrated in the Nordic Region. This is a situation that we can no longer live with, "said Arne Johannessen, chairman of the Joint Police Association and vice chairman of the Nordic Council of Police Association.
He sent Wednesday a letter to Norwegian Justice Minister Knut Storberget (Ap) and the other ministers of justice in the Nordic Region with a call to close the borders.
- If the Baltic countries are not doing anything to deal with the growing crime that affects the Nordic countries to a considerable extent, the Schengen agreement and where the limits should go, taken up for serious consideration.

Strange news,
very interesting would be to see some proves that crime is coming from Baltics which is strange localization because three countries of Baltics are no t the same.
My question would be, why they are not asking to close border with Poland – I think that crime is coming from them, Polands are 38 millions, but Baltics all together 6.8 millions
