“The penalty for this type of crime is imprisonment for up to three years, so it is clear that we are seriously considering the case,” said police lawyer Åge Sliper Midling in the Trøndelag police district.
On Monday, Trønder-Avisa wrote about Tronder in his 40s who was jailed for two weeks, charged with violation of the Animal Welfare Act. It confirmed the man’s defender, Erlend Hjulstad Nilsen, to the newspaper.
According to the lawyer, the man has admitted sexual intercourse with animals, and the police have taken care of several animals belonging to the man.
According to the newspaper, this is about dogs that the man should have had sexual relations with.
The man is now in custody.
“The man has been remanded in custody, among other things, for the danger of forfeiture of evidence,” Midling told NRK.
Man also arrested in Haugesund
Thursday writes Haugesunds Avis that a man from Haugesund is also in custody, charged with sexual intercourse with animals.
– I can confirm that a man is in custody, but can say nothing more than that. Trøndelag police district is investigating this case, says Police Superintendent Sjur Stava of the South West Police District to the newspaper.
The Trøndelag police confirm that the two police districts are cooperating and that the imprisonment of the man in Haugesund is done on the same grounds as that of the man in Trøndelag.
– A person in Haugesund has been arrested on suspicion of the same type of relationship. There is now a collaboration between the South-West and Trøndelag police districts, says Midling to NRK.

The man in Haugesund was notified by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority last week, Haugesunds Avis writes.
Police attorney Midling will not rule out the possibility that more people may be arrested in the wake of the investigation of the cases.
– I can’t say it’s not happening. We will not rule it out, says Midling.
He also tells NRK that this is a very special case that he in the Trøndelag police has not been similar in the past.
