Police in Haugesund have initiated new underwater search operations for 21-year-old Sverre Fjellet Søvik, who has been missing since September 25. The search is concentrated in the Smedasundet area and near the central pier.

Authorities are employing sonar, surface drones, and underwater drones provided by Equinor to assist in the efforts. Helge Varne, the investigation section leader at Haugesund Police Station, stated that the primary hypothesis is an accident, noting there are “no indications of criminal activity.” Previous attempts involving divers and Coast Guard drones have not yet located the individual.
