Young man sentenced to preventive detention following fires

A young man has been sentenced to preventive detention after setting fire to several buildings, according to Bergens Tidende.

The court concludes that the man has a fascination with matches and fire. The sentence is preventive detention, a particularly strict measure involving the person being held in custody beyond a normal sentence if they are still deemed dangerous.

The case involves multiple arson fires. The young man was found guilty of starting these fires. The preventive detention sentence means that the court views the actions as serious and assesses that there is a risk of repetition.
