Sindri Þór Stefánsson escaped from from Sogni prison last night and police have confirmed that he fled Iceland to Stockholm, Sweden. The fugitive was reportedly using another man’s passport when he boarded a flight at Keflavik International Airport.

By the time police ascertained that Stefánsson had boarded a plane to Sweden, he had already landed. Icelandic police are currently coordinating with Swedish authorities to apprehend Stefánsson. An international arrest warrant has been issued. The suspect is not considered to be dangerous.
