The police in Skien received several alarms about an armed man wearing a robber's mask during Saturday afternoon. Despite the man, according to the callers, not having threatened anyone, a large police operation was launched.

The initial description was a man in black clothes and a black robber's mask, with a handgun in one hand, reports NRK.

Shortly after 2 pm, the police announced that they had made contact with the suspect – a minor boy, who had been at a Halloween party.

We will follow up with preventive talks, says operations leader Øystein Paus Eikedalen to the channel.
