When residents in the Fosie district of Malmö last Thursday night saw eight to ten people with weapons out on the street, police were alerted to the scene.
One of the police officers pulled his weapon and fired a warning shot, but it turned out that it was all about a movie recording and that the people on the scene were actors, Sydsvenskan writes.
"The whole situation was very realistic," says Stefan Sintéus, police chief in Malmö.
"Directly inappropriate"The police are now critical that they were not informed of the filming in advance.
- To record these types of films in Malmö with weapons and drugs - it is directly inappropriate if you do not tell us before, says Sintéus.
Six people were arrested, but they were later released and the rifle and gun seized turned out to be of the softair type.
- Serious film recordings usually inform the police. Although it will be used pretend weapons. I hope they understand how inappropriate it was to do this.
