Four young men have been convicted of arson in Nyköping last year, local media report.
One night in August, someone set fire to a residence. No one was injured in the fire, which was extinguished fairly quickly.
The four who have now been convicted were caught on surveillance footage as they filled a gasoline can, which was later used to start the fire.
The arson attack was directed against a security guard and the motive is said to have been that the guard had thrown out two people from a pub.
An 18-year-old man who was prosecuted for setting the fire is sentenced to six years in prison for aggravated arson.
The other three are convicted of aiding and abetting the crime. Two young men are both sentenced to three years in prison, while one who was 17 years old at the time of the crime is sentenced to ten months of closed youth care.
All defendants deny the crime.
