Police Inspector in the Oslo Police District Trude Maren Buanes confirms to VG that the wanted Stig Millehaugen is pictured in Oslo on Wednesday.

– Millehaugen has been observed with a large backpack in Oslo, says Buanes.

The police are now going out with the most recent surveillance photo taken by Millehaugen, as he leaves Oslo Central Station on foot on Wednesday 1 June around 2 pm.

The 53-year-old is wearing a black cap and is carrying a large backpack. In the surveillance photos of the 53-year-old on his way out of prison and at Værnes airport in Trondheim on Wednesday morning, he was carrying another, much smaller bag.

– Millehaugen took a plane from Værnes airport to Gardermoen, before he took a taxi from Gardermoen to Oslo Central Station, the police write in a press release.

The police ask witnesses who have observed him after this time to report to the police.

When asked by VG about details about the bag and what the police’s theory is further, Buanes says that she the police can not comment on either theories or what specific investigative steps the police have done or are doing.

– Should meet someone

Millehaugen has been wanted since he was absent after a six-hour leave from Trondheim prison on Wednesday. The police immediately sounded the national alarm.

– He was to meet some people and was to stay in certain places in the center of Trondheim, said prison manager Egil Gabrielsen at Trondheim prison to VG Friday.

In the hours that followed, an intense search began for the 53-year-old sentenced to detention.

There are no regulations that require that ID be checked when entering security at Norwegian airports. Millehaugen can thus have flew like “anyone”.

More actions

On Thursday, the Oslo police district carried out actions in several places, including a large police operation in Vinterbro in the morning. Later in the afternoon, one person arrested and charged with assistance at another address. He was released after questioning.

Swedish police have also had a police action in Norra Bohuslän on Friday night, after suspicion that Millehaugen was in a house, writes Göteborgs-Posten.

– We have collaborated with the Swedish police to follow up on information provided by the police. It has been checked out with a negative result, Buanes told VG earlier Friday.

Millehaugen has been in prison all his adult life after being convicted of car thefts, burglary and armed robbery. Just before Christmas 1992, Millehaugen shot and killed a prison officer in Sarpsborg prison in connection with his escape.

In 2012, he was sentenced to 21 years in prison, the law’s most severe punishment, for premeditated murder of Young Guns leader Mohammad “Jeddi” Javed. The minimum term was set at ten years. He has always denied criminal guilt.

For the last ten years he has served time in Trondheim prison.
