Extensive search
Lie further says that the fire did not cause major material damage, but emphasizes that the extent of the damage is still being investigated by the police.
– This is not what I would call major damage to the building at the moment, without having been there myself. We are working to map the extent of the incident, the operations manager adds.
The police searched with large forces for the perpetrators in the aftermath of the incident.
