The case is being updated.
Police tweeted on Sunday morning at 05.05 about a search operation in Verdal.
– This is a man in his 30s who lived in a cabin. It is said that he left there at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and since then no one has heard from him. He was then reported missing at 11 p.m. Saturday night, says operations manager Stig Roger Olsen in the Trøndelag police district.
Police say the search is ongoing in the Bringsåsen area of Verdal municipality.
– First we went out with police dogs that were following leads in the area, says Operations Manager Olsen.
The search continued through the night
– So far we have not made any discoveries in relation to our searches. It was quite cold last night and the person was dressed in scant clothing.
Police claim that the search has continued in full force throughout the night, with both the police, the Civil Defense, the Norwegian Rescue Dogs and the Norwegian Red Cross now on the scene.
Has there been any telephone contact, or was it possible to trace the person in that way?
– We have tried all these possibilities and so far without result. We will continue the search until we have a result, says operations manager Stig Roger Olsen.
The Sea King rescue helicopter is connected to the search
Operations manager Olsen says new dog patrols and ground teams will be deployed during the day.
– The fire service helped us last night with a drone, with a thermal or heat search camera call. A little later today, Sunday, the Sea King rescue helicopter will also be used in the search, says operations manager Olsen.
The police claim that the person in question was wearing a black t-shirt and mountain pants. The man is 30 years old and probably alone. Police want clues if anyone has seen the person since he left yesterday. And the police receive clues on the 02800 phone.
