Marius Borg Høiby invited his criminal friends to a party at royal Skaugum.

They took the opportunity to steal silverware and petrol from the crown prince couple, according to  Norwegian Se og Hør.

In addition, members of the Hells Angels were given access to the royal residence.

Marius Borg Høiby has been associated with criminals for several years according to Norwegian media.

These are people who have been convicted of serious crimes, are part of criminal groups and some even have connections to the Swedish Foxtrot network.

Now Se og Hør reveals that Marius regularly invited his friends to wild parties at Skaugum. The parties have received the name "Skaugum festival" in the circle of friends.

Marius lives in his own house in the area, a three-storey house of 164 square meters, but of course moves freely in his mother's and stepfather's residence.

The thieves let the taxpayers pay for the gas

In connection with these parties, valuable silver objects are said to have been stolen from Skaugum. The criminals are said to have tried to sell the items via an auction house, but there they became suspicious and the sale was stopped.

The newspaper also says that a petrol card belonging to the royal family was stolen, it was issued to "The Royal Court". This means that tax money covers the card's costs. The thieves managed to use it in 2020 without anyone reacting to it or stopping it.

Marius Borg Høiby and his friends have documented the wild parties at Skaugum and posted pictures and videos on social media. Se og Hør mentions a video where a person films inside the crown prince's family's private area while driving around on a Segway and singing loudly.

The police held a "preventive conversation" with Marius some time ago. They have full control of his group of friends and their criminal activities. Marius recorded the conversation, which was then spread in the Norwegian media.

Received harsh criticism for the conversation

In the conversation, Marius says that his mother and father know who he hangs out with.

- My circle of friends has been the same for the last ten years, and that's just the way it is. My parents know it, and so are my friends, I can't do anything about that, he says in the audio clip.

The police later received harsh criticism for their conversation with the crown princess's son and believe that he received special treatment and destroyed the police's own investigation into the persons.
