Mr Stenberg has been arrested on a warrant for the murder of a 54-year-old male at Broadwater, on the 21st of June 2012.
Mr Stenberg fled to the Northern Territory and was sighted on Tuesday afternoon, sparking a major Police manhunt.

“He was armed but surrendered to Police without incident.” Said Crime Commander Richard Bryson.
“He was sighted and captured in the primary search area where Police had been concentrating resources.”
