Record Number of Foreign Roma Arrive in Helsinki

The number of foreign Roma arriving in Helsinki this summer has far exceeded that of previous summers. Police believe that many of the Roma have committed crimes. They have also set up what amounts to illegal camps.

Police estimate that at least 200 foreign Roma, mainly citizens of Romania, are living in the city now. This is twice the amount as last year.

The travellers have set up unlawful camps on city property, bringing litter to the area, and are believed to have committed a number of crimes.

Juha Laaksonen of the Helsinki police says that a number of thefts have been attributed to the Roma.

“The thefts mainly involve shoplifting and pickpocketing. They have also committed more serious robberies,” Laksonen says.

There have also been complaints about the Roma camps, which have spread litter in their surroundings. City dwellers have also been wary about moving near the camps.

Hmmm, didn't notice that. I'm pretty sure the British "travellers" are a different lot from the one we are getting here in increasing numbers, thanks to our glorious leaders' eunuchism.

You do not want them, regardless.

"Travellers"? I have no trouble believing you at all. ;)

What's up with all this Gypsies "Romas", how do they get in in such a developed and secure country like Finland? And why are they so violent, I had in my mind that they where peaceful and poor mercenaries

They are a poor and heavily criminal and marginalized group that can be found in most European countries, but they are (were? :rolleyes:) most numerous in Eastern Europe. They get into Finland as EU citizens they are allowed to come here.

They're criminals.

Not a surprise :D:

Helsinki Police Probe String of Break-Ins

http://yle.fi/ecepic/archive/00298/Asuntomurto_murrot__298191b.jpg

An exceptional number of apartment burglaries were carried out in Helsinki last weekend. Police suspect that Romanian criminals were involved.

Most of the break-ins occurred at high-end flats in the city centre, and took place in the evenings or at night. At least seven such burglaries have been reported.

The robbers primarily made off with cash and jewellery. Police say that unusually heavy-duty methods were used to break into the homes, some of which had high-security locks. They believe that the perpetrators had studied their target locations in advance.

The little finnish town Pietarsaari with about 20.000 inhabitants had in 1970 some 130 gypsies living in the town which I think was a very hight number considering how little the town is. The gypsies had moved in from Sweden. They have since that moved southward over the years and the number is now much smaller. But there has always been trouble with this group, thefts, rows etc.

When me and my friends were backpacking we got stranded in the middle of the night in a small town in the north of Finland (I think it was called Kemi or some such) and we were totally freaked out by families (y?) of gypsies that were hanging around the bars near the bus station. We decided against trying to get something to eat and just sat on the bench a little bit out of the way for the rest of the night :(...most of the time we spent talking about how misserable we were and how scary and depressing this town was :D.

I can't imagine the gypsies going somewhere that isolated

"Romanian"... :D

Don't get too upset about it. Everyone in this country knows what the deal is whenever some "Romanian" or "Bulgarian" criminals are mentioned in the news. :rolleyes:
