Moved out to stag parties – The police rage:

– It is thoughtless and shows a total lack of judgment. Everything is under control now, but there is no doubt that this will have repercussions.

This is what operations manager Jøran Solheim told Dagbladet, after the emergency center was called on Friday afternoon when a man in a Finnish cap allegedly threw down a bag and shouted in a foreign language at an outdoor restaurant in the center of Stavanger.

– We received the first message at 16.28. After that, a lot of people called, says the operations manager.

The whole thing, however, turned out not to be a serious incident, but a joke from a stag party.

He says that they had patrols on site shortly afterwards, but that the call, which was armed, led to several evacuations, both of restaurant guests and other people who were in the city centre, including cruise tourists.

On Twitter, the police write that several people express that they were afraid of dying. Nor have they had the capacity to answer all the calls at the emergency centre.

– We have started collecting items that people have thrown around and are handing them out again now, but I don’t know what words to use, says Solheim.

He emphasizes that it is up to the lawyer on duty to decide what kind of consequences the joke has for the bachelor party. So far, eight people have been brought in and a case is being opened.

– It is obvious that they have not thought about the consequences of this joke, says Solheim.

Magnus Svendsbø is sous chef at the neighboring restaurant Fisketorget, which was evacuated for around ten minutes after the incident.

– We didn’t see anything special, but were told by the police that we had to evacuate and pull behind the barricades, he says to Dagbladet.

After ten minutes, the guests were back at the outdoor dining area, he says.

– It went well. The guests are back at the tables and have received their food, and look satisfied, he says.
