A 16-year-old boy has escaped again from Bakkegården, a secured institution in Nykøbing Sjælland where he is being held on remand.
Midt- and West Zealand Police said in an alert that the boy fled at about 3 p.m. on Monday from the facility in Annebergparken. Duty officer Boje Rasmussen said he climbed onto the roof of a school bus and then got over a fence. The boy has no mobile phone or money, police said.
He also escaped from the institution in July, together with another teenage boy from Sweden. Police found both later the same day.
Police described the 16-year-old as 180 centimetres tall, of average build and brown complexion, with short black hair, brown eyes and a chin beard. He was wearing a white polo shirt and black trousers with holes and paint marks when he escaped. Anyone who sees him is asked to contact police on 114.
