Getting scared from a package which was continuously emitting vibrating sounds, a janitor alerted local police who in turn sent in a bomb squad only to find out they were disarming - a sex toy.

According to police, the janitor found the package in the garage of an apartment building in Goteborg.

Getting suspicious of the continuous humming and vibrating of the package, the policeman sent out a team of explosives experts to diffuse the parcel.

However, upon opening the box, with bomb disposal equipment, the bomb squad were surprised to find the battery-operated sex toy inside.

"The package was vibrating when the janitor found it, but I think it had sort of died out by the time it was disarmed," said police spokesman Jan Strannegard. "(Ironically), We don't really expect anybody to come asking for it." he added.
