– He is to be described as a high-risk, he is a high-profile high-risk prisoner, says the former police investigator Johnny Brenna to NRK. “SUPER SPEARS”: Johnny Brenna worked in the police from 1988 to 2006. Photo: Olav Døvik / NRK He joined the police in 1988, and eventually became one of the scouts the criminals feared most. Throughout his career in the police, he had a lot to do with Stig Millehaugen. – He is a man with a lot of history, I have been looking for him myself several times, when he has been away. Early criminal Millehaugen was born in 1969, on the actual day of liberation on 8 May. In the 80’s he became part of the so-called Tveita gang, a criminal environment at Tveita in Oslo In 1986 he was arrested for the first time, for healing. He had bought a stolen, expensive bubble jacket. Since then, things were going to be far worse on the record. Murder of a prison officer ON CAMERA: Stig Millehaugen was caught by a surveillance camera during the robbery of Sparebanken Nor’s branch in Oppsal in Oslo. Photo: POLICE / NRK 21 years old, in December 1990, robbed Millehaugen Klemetsrud post office in Oslo. Two months later, he robbed Sparebanken Nor’s branch in Oppsal in Oslo. In February 1992, he was sentenced to six years in prison for these robberies. In July of the same year, he escaped from the prison on Berg. The following month he robbed Svartskog post office, and later Nesbru post office, where hostages were taken. In December 1992, some of the most serious things happened on Millehaugen’s record. While he was in custody, Millehaugen had a gun smuggled in. He wanted to escape from prison by force. During the subsequent escape, he shot and killed prison officer Jon Arild Martinsen. He then forced another officer to drive to Oslo. The next day he reported to the police. In August 1993, Millehaugen was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the murder and robbery of the post offices at Svartskog and Nesbru. – Probably enters armed ARMED: Police with weapons have been a common sight during court proceedings where Millehaugen has been involved.

If one were to find out where he is, Brenna thinks the police will not take any chances. – You probably go in armed to take him with that history. He is considered dangerous, says Brenna. Brenna reckons that Millehaugen has a plan. This is not the first time Millehaugen has escaped on leave from prison. – I do not disregard the fact that he can be gone for a long time. Especially based on what happened last time, the last time he was wanted, then he had been gone for a long time, says Brenna. Escaped during leave IN COURT: In 2004, Millehaugen was acquitted of robbery and attempted murder while on the run from prison. He was convicted of illegal possession of a weapon. Photo: Åserud, Lise / SCANPIX In October 2000, during a leave of absence from prison, Millehaugen escaped with her boyfriend. He managed to avoid the police for 8 months. It was the longest period Millehaugen had been at large since 1988. The police suspected Millehaugen of robbing Kreditkassen branch in Bogstadveien in Oslo in December 2000. During the escape, the robber fired 11 shots at a police patrol that took up the hunt. In 2003, Millehaugen was acquitted of the robbery, but convicted of illegal possession of a weapon while on the run. In 2008, Millehaugen changed his last name to Bergquist, as he thought his original name was too charged. In April 2009, he switched back, because he thought his new surname had been as charged as the old one. Convicted of killing gang leader In January 2009, one of the leaders of the infamous Young Guns gang, Mohammed “Jeddi” Javed, was found shot and killed in a burnt-out car at Haugerud in Oslo. Another man who was in the car when Javed was shot pointed out Millehaugen as the killer. After investigating the case, the police concluded that Millehaugen shot Javed at the request of a leader in the rival B-gang. Neither Millehaugen nor the B-gang leader admitted criminal guilt. In 2012, Millehaugen was sentenced to 21 years in prison with a minimum of 10 years for premeditated murder of Javed. The man the police thought had ordered the murder was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
