  • Burnaby man convicted of arson

A 50-year-old man has been convicted of three counts of arson in Burnaby, B-C, that caused more than half-a-million dollars in damages to two restaurants.

Burnaby R-C-M-P says Steven Sean Sorenson has been sentenced to more than five years in jail, in addition to a three-year probation order effective upon his release.

Police say Sorenson set two separate fires at a Korean and a sushi restaurant in April 2020, then returned that November to set another fire at the sushi restaurant for a second time.

The fires resulted in damage estimated at more than 550-thousand dollars
