Startled, the husband had keeled over, whereupon the wife asked Olsson to fetch heart medicine that her husband kept in the kitchen the robber complied, then resumed his pillaging, finally departing with considerable loot. He had achieved a certain fame that year when an elderly couple in Helsingborg surprised him in the act of ransacking their house. Olsson had been convicted in February, 1972, for grand larceny. The convict proved to be Jan-Erik Olsson, a highly intelligent thirty-two-year-old thief and safecracker, who came from the south of Sweden his past criminal activities had taken place in that area, and provincial police knew him as an expert in the use of explosives and as someone who had not hesitated to use a gun. For two days, while the convict remained in the bank, the police tried to figure out his identity, succeeding only when his voice, during a radio broadcast, sounded familiar to a sharp-eared detective. In the hope of being mistaken for a foreigner, he spoke English-a required language in Swedish schools-with an American accent. The convict himself was thoroughly disguised: he was got up in a pair of toy-store spectacles and a thick brown wig his cheeks were rouged and his reddish-brown mustache and eyebrows were dyed jet black. The convict wore gloves, and another pair was in the bag he intended to give them to an accomplice who was not yet on the scene but whose appearance he confidently expected to arrange. The other hand held a large canvas suitcase whose contents included reserve ammunition, plastic explosives, blasting caps, safety fuses, lengths of rope, a knife, wool socks, sunglasses, two walkie-talkies, and a transistor radio. One hand hugged a loaded submachine gun under a folded jacket.
