Shortly before midnight on Saturday, several witnesses raised the alarm that two masked men, armed with hand grenades and gun-like objects, stormed a gym in Gävle.
But when the police arrived at the scene, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, which Gefle Dagblad first reported on.
– It turned out to be a film recording that they have not notified us about, says the officer on duty at the police to TT, and adds:
– It was a bit dramatic when we got there, because of course you draw weapons.
The situation was cleared up quickly, however, and the film crew received an invitation.
– They got a bit of a scolding and they had to stop their recording. It was not okay to continue when several informants called in about this, they can continue another day, says the police officer on duty.
