The escape took place according to Andersson on Sunday morning, the alarm came in nationally just before 9 o'clock. However, she cannot comment on how the escape took place.
We are now trying to gather as much information as possible about how it happened.
It involves two men in their 25 and 30s. According to the police, they are wearing the Prison and Probation Service's clothes and are now wanted.
We have no concrete information that there would be any danger to the public, but you should of course not intervene yourself if you see them, instead you should contact the police, says the police's press spokesperson Christian Brattgård.
The police are searching the area with several units. Train traffic from Borås has been shut down during the morning as there are railway tracks in the area that the police are searching.
The police operation manager makes an assessment of how long we need to keep the trains stopped.
We also need help from the public if they see two people, they may still be wearing the Prison and Probation Service's clothes, so that you contact us immediately on 112, says Christian Brattgård.
The Prison and Probation Service's clothes are described by the police as green sweatpants and a green top.
The Borås institution has, according to the Prison and Probation Service, over 130 places and is located in the western part of the city. It has security class 2, which is the second highest. This means a closed institution but with a lower security level.
