The Oulu police have expanded their investigation into suspected crimes related to Ilkka Pulkkinen, the head of the organization Bike's Patrullen, including the involvement of two employees from a local work training center. The investigation centers on serious money laundering allegations against these workers, as they are accused of illegally acquiring and handling bicycles at the center. The pre-trial investigation is nearing completion, shedding light on the extent of the alleged criminal activities.

Pulkkinen, who founded Bike's Patrullen—a group specializing in recovering stolen bicycles—remains the primary suspect in these investigations. He is alleged to have unlawfully obtained bicycles and stored them in containers at the training center as well as in his home located in Siikalatva. The police suspect that these bicycles, which were kept in Oulu, were subsequently sold off by the training center. This has raised concerns regarding the organization's integrity and operational practices in relation to law enforcement.

As the investigation continues, police are also looking into public claims that a member of the organization's board acted according to police directives, which will be thoroughly examined during the pre-trial phase. Investigating officer Criminal Commissioner Heikki Kemppainen has stated that the department is committed to revealing the complexities of the allegations, emphasizing the importance of accountability within organizations tasked with addressing issues related to stolen property.
