Ananova:

An armed police SWAT squad who raced to a shoot-out between armed drugs dealers found gangsta rappers making a music video instead.

Worried residents in Dortmund, Germany, called police when they thought they saw a cocaine dealers' gunfight going on outside their homes.

But red-faced police found nine men aged between 22 and 36 with fake pistols. The 'cocaine' was sugar and flour in transparent plastic bags.

A police spokesman said: "They really did look like they were gangs tooled up for a deadly fight."
