The Norrmalmstorg robbery was a bank robbery and hostage crisis that occurred at the Norrmalmstorg Square in Stockholm , Sweden , in August and was the first crime in Sweden to be covered by live television. It is best known as the origin of the term Stockholm syndrome.
Jan-Erik Olsson was a convicted criminal who had disappeared while on furlough from prison and then held up the Kreditbanken bank, taking four hostages in the process. During the negotiations that followed, Swedish Minister of Justice Lennart Geijer allowed Olsson's former cellmate and friend Clark Olofsson to be brought from prison to the bank. Although Olofsson was a long-time career criminal, it was deemed unlikely that he was in league with Olsson.
However, it has also been argued that the hostages were simply distrustful of the police given the latter's willingness to risk the hostages' safety. Olsson was sentenced to 10 years for the robbery, and Olofsson was ultimately acquitted. The counter-intuitive actions of the hostages led to a great deal of academic and public interest in the case, including a Swedish television film titled Norrmalmstorg , a Canadian film titled Stockholm and a Swedish Netflix television series Clark.
Jan-Erik Olsson was on leave from prison on August 23, when he went into Kreditbanken on Norrmalmstorg , Stockholm and attempted to rob it. One officer, Ingemar Warpefeldt, suffered injuries to his hand after Olsson opened fire, [ 6 ] while another was ordered to sit in a chair and sing a song. Olsson was initially misidentified as Kaj Hansson, [ 10 ] another escaped prisoner, and someone who specialized in bank robberies.
The government gave permission for Olofsson to be brought as a communication link with the police negotiators. The hostage Kristin Enmark said that she felt safe with Olsson and Olofsson but feared that the police might escalate the situation by using violent methods. Negotiators agreed that they could have a car to escape but would not allow them to take hostages with them if they tried to leave.
Olsson called Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and said that he would kill the hostages and backed up his threat by grabbing one of them in a stranglehold. She was heard screaming as he hung up.
