The Norrmalmstorg Robbery

The Norrmalmstorg Robbery in Sweden is one of the most famous robberies in history.  On 23 August 1973 Jan Erik Olsson’s robbery of Kreditbanken in Stockholm did not go as he had planned. The Swedish police came to the scene immediately and two policemen went inside the bank. Olsson started shooting at them, injuring one of the police officers and taking the other one hostage. He also took four other people in the bank hostage and demanded that his friend Clark Olofsson be brought to the bank. Olofsson was also a criminal and had been in trouble with the law before for violent crimes. The first time he was caught he was only 16 years old. Olsson also demanded 3 million Swedish Kronor (that’s about 3,000,000 euro), two guns, bullet-proof vests, helmets and a fast car.

The police said that Olsson and Olofsson could have the car if they let the hostages go.  The robbers didn’t agree to this and Olsson called Olof Palme, the Prime Minister of Sweden, and told him that he would kill the hostages if they did not bring him what he asked for. The next day one of the hostages also called the Prime Minister and told him that she was very mad at him and that he should let the robbers and hostages go! They remained in the bank for six days. On August 28 the police used gas to get the robbers out of the bank. Luckily no one was seriously injured and the police were able to arrest them.

After the incident was over, hostages told reporters that they had felt more afraid of what the police would do than the robbers. A court sentenced Olsson to ten years in prison.  After he got out he had more problems with the law. His friend Olofsson told the court that he was there to protect the hostages and in the end he did not go to prison. He actually became friends with Kristen Enmark who was one of the hostages. The families also became friends. Psychologists have studied this robbery and believe that when someone is held hostage they sometimes can become ‘friends’ with the person who was holding them hostage. They call this the ‘Stockholm Syndrome’. 

Since the robbery people have made movies, songs and written books about the event.
