BELGRADE (AFP) - Three actors filming a bank robbery scene in Novi Sad, northern Serbia, were mistakenly arrested by police.

The Vecernje Novosti newspaper revealed Wednesday that the three were running out of the bank wearing masks and carrying plastic guns, as the script demanded, when a group of around 30 police officers arrested them.

The police had been tipped off by a resident of Novi Sad, the provincial capital of Vojvodina, who thought a real daylight robbery was underway.

The three detainees, all members of the Serb National Theatre in Novi Sad, were filming a scene for "The Balkan Spy" by playwright Dusan Kovacevic.
