In the Czech Republic, police officers broke into the wrong school during an exercise and scared the children

Police officers during an exercise in the city of Warnsdorf in the north-west of the Czech Republic, while simulating the detention of an armed criminal, confused buildings and broke into an operating gymnasium instead of a school closed for repairs, causing a commotion in the classrooms where lessons were taking place. This was announced on October 18 by the portal Novinky.cz .

"Both sides were surprised by the unexpected meeting, the high school students by the noisy appearance of menacingly equipped guests, the police by the overly natural frightened reaction of the hosts, who, according to the plan, were supposed to be portrayed by young and adult residents of the city hired for this purpose," the newspaper quotes the mayor of the city, Jan Shimek.

According to him, the situation became clear a couple of minutes later, when the head of the city police department called the guards at the gymnasium and informed them of their mistake. After that, the police continued their exercises at the correct address, Shimek said.

"Since the misunderstanding was quickly clarified and caused no moral or material damage to anyone, the whole incident was not punished. <...> But the leadership of the police of the Ustets Region, nevertheless, intends to give its assessment to this incident," concluded the mayor of the city.
