No Further Action — Arson with Intent to Endanger Life

A vulnerable client was arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, an exceptionally serious allegation carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Despite the gravity of the allegation and CCTV evidence, criminal proceedings were avoided.
