The police receives a call from a member of the public in Bålsta who believes a man the caller suspects is wearing a bulletproof vest and a pistol.

A number of patrols are ordered to the location to check the man. A school located near where the man was last seen is contacted and evacuated during the time the search operation is ongoing.

Thanks to the caller, who continues to keep an eye on the man, the police can quickly find and gain control of the man.

It turns out to be a man who was out exercising wearing a so-called weight vest. What the caller believed was a weapon turned out to be a mobile phone and a larger power bank. After the check, the man, who is not suspected of any crime, can be released on bail.

After the checks, the police visit the relevant school in a security-creating purpose to explain what has happened.
