Summaries

Tumba-Tarzan, born Rolf Eskil Johansson (1925-1978) was a Swedish burglar who became nationally known in 1954 when he was on the run from the police for more than half a year. During the first half of the 1950s, a wave of burglary rinsed over Södertörn, Stockholm. The guilty were the Johansson brothers in the so-called Tumbaligan. After escaping prison, Tumba-Tarzan and his wife Alice lived in the forests on Södertörn and Roslagen for a few months. They were chased by police, military, dogs and helicopters. Yet they managed to get away.—SVT
