Witnesses reported two men fleeing the cathedral, who then entered an open-top speedboat, across the sea from outside the building. Police boats and helicopters were involved in the hunt for the thieves, and the cathedral was put on lockdown. As reported by CNN, Tor Sevelius, commanding officer at the police's management center, said “To a limited extent we are still looking for [them] both on the ground and at sea. We have no new findings so far”. Police spokesman Thomas Agnevik told Expressen that they were looking for “any boat that may seem interesting”. https://twitter.com/OAanmoen/status/1024370707499806720 https://twitter.com/OAanmoen/status/1024371241208242177 https://twitter.com/OAanmoen/status/1024384200638717959
