"Wanderer" loose again
One of Norway's most annoying men is at large again. Terje "the wanderer" Larsen, 46, has been convicted of breaking into over 600 cabins, stealing from and then vandalizing them. Larsen was on partial parole and decided to try total freedom again, newspaper Hamar Arbeiderblad reports.
"We notified police when he didn't turn up to serve on March 19. He is now wanted by police, so that we can get in touch and speak with him," said Einar Fæste at Oppland Criminal Care to newspaper VG.
Larsen was being prepared to return to civilian life but was still obligated to serve his sentence by staying at the center.
Larsen's last rampage lasted from May to August 2001, when he roamed Ringsaker, Østerdalen and Gudbrandsdalen, vandalizing cabins.
That spree occurred after Larsen ran off while on leave from Ringerike prison - while he was serving his 13th conviction for a total of 450 break-ins.
Despite numerous volunteers and a helicopter in pursuit, Larsen managed to roam the countryside and damage property for months.
Larsen was noted for not only breaking, entering and stealing - he also tended to deface properties after a visit with a combination of food and feces.
In 2002 Larsen received another three-year prison term for the 221 break-ins he committed on the run. His defense attorney argued that Larsen was a kind of addict, who got 'high' on his raids and just couldn't stop.
