Published 2009-08-13 09:23.The criminal gang Black Cobra, has taken root in the suburbs of Stockholm. According to county police, it is about 25 young men aged 15 to 20 years who commit serious crimes.
All gang members in black cobra movement have already criminal records and have a lifestyle of abuse and drug addiction problems. Before someone becomes a member, there is a membership fee that he has to pay.
– They have copied the adult gangs gangs. It’s really serious, says, Gõtblad- We try not to give them too much status. One should not demonize these gangs. They are ruthless, but miserable and stuck in drugs. Black Cobra is primarily occupied with muggings, robberies and extortion.
One should not see this as solely a police matter, says Carin Götblad. It is about early intervention- The police should support, not scare, parents, according to county police. – We must as parents be vigilant and ask our children what kind of mark they have on the jersey or where they got the expensive stuff from.
The young men in the suburbs have been lured into the Black Cobra of the older established members, who sought them out and recruited them. According to Carin Götblad believed the fires and riots in Tensta and Rinkeby this Christmas have been such occasions, where the young ones have to burn down community properties, so that they may be recruited – We suspect it.
The older gang members also use their expensive cars and bling bling stuff to attract the young ones. She also pointed out the differences between the gangs in Gothenburg and Malmo vs. Stockholm. it is no longer “small groups”. A rising unemployment makes the situation worse, says; the county police chief.
