A number of people in Borås are reported to have received sms about several lions escaping from Borås animal park and wandering around in central parts of the city, reports Göteborgs-Posten.
The animal park is stated as the sender, but the police deny the information.
According to Fredrik Svedemyr, the police's press spokesperson in the west, a number of false sms have been sent out since last week.
Among other things, the messages concern warnings about lions, armed individuals and that Sweden is under armed attack.
We are of course looking at the connections, says Fredrik Svedemyr to TT.
