Despite persistent police hunting at home and abroad, Stig Millehaugen (53), convicted of double murder, is still at large, after having escaped from leave from Trondheim prison last week.
Actions against a number of addresses, one arrest and extensive search have so far not yielded results.
On Tuesday, the police will release new surveillance images of the fugitive from Helsfyr metro station, taken at 15.32 on Wednesday 1 June.
This is the police’s last documented observation of Millehaugen.

Reason to investigate further
Police attorney in the Oslo police district, Børge Enoksen, believes there is reason to investigate further what this observation indicates about where the 53-year-old may have gone further.
– But I can not comment on what hypotheses or indications his stay there gives us, Enoksen says to Dagbladet.
First and foremost, the police will encourage people who may have made observations of where Millehaugen went after he left the metro station, to get in touch.
The police are now working full time to review the video material obtained and conduct an interrogation in the case. In addition to this, the police attorney does not want to answer specifically about hypotheses or investigative steps.
– We are still working on the basis that he may be in Norway or abroad. I can not comment on anything clearer than that, he says.
The police are not alone in the hunt for the convicted robber.
Dagbladet has revealed that several people from criminal circles are conducting a parallel pat hunt on the fugitive with a goal in mind: revenge.
– How does it affect the work of the police?
– We do not consider him to be particularly dangerous to the general public. I do not want to comment on whether there is a danger that he will be approached by others, Enoksen answers.
If it affects the police’s ability to obtain information about where the 53-year-old is, he will not go into it either.
Millehaugen has escaped from prison earlier, most recently in October 2000, together with his girlfriend. It then took eight months before he was arrested.
He has also stated to VG that experience has shown that it can take a long time before an arrest is made, if it does not take place within two to three days.
Now it’s been six.
– Are the chances of making an arrest in the near future reduced?
– It is difficult to say when he can be found. At least we are still working intensely, says Enoksen.
