The police alerted several patrols to go to the location and search for the men.

More people pointed out the direction of the men to the police and where they had gone and which doors they had entered.

During the search work, several people were checked who might have had something to do with the matter. The people were dressed up but they were not carrying any kind of weapon.

It seems that the men were Halloween celebrants who had had some kind of toy or an object that looked like a weapon with them. The police never found the men.

The search was concluded about an hour after the alarm came in.

The police urge all Halloween celebrants to make it a safe and considerate celebration.
