This happened at Halloween but the police asked the media to not report it and they seemingly complied. Is this kind of arrangement unique to Norway?

  No, a lot of media outlets will not report on something that will definitely put someone’s life in immediate danger, unless the public interest outweighs the risk. In this case the public interest is well served as long as it’s eventually reported, and a scoop at the cost of a life would be pointless and cruel. It doesn’t always work out of course, and the smaller a media org is the less likely they are to abide by norms.
