'These incidents happened a long way out in the police district , and we therefore believe it is important that those who live there are protected . ' 'We are not talking about serious crimes , but it 's more of a nuisance . I must admit that I have never encountered such a case in my career .

Hordaland country 's remoteness on Norway 's west coast makes it very difficult for the police to access quickly during an emergency . Mr Bilberg said the frequency of the man 's offences should be judged accordingly so he does not go on to commit new crimes .
