Police stormed into a yoga class after it was mistaken for a 'ritual mass murder'.
Police officers mistakenly stormed a yoga class
Members of the public noticed several people lying on the floor and reported it to the cops - with five cars descending on the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday (06.09.23).
Lincolnshire Police confirmed that everybody at the yoga class was safe and well and that the call had been made with "good intentions".
Yoga teacher Millie Laws explained that she thought reports of her being a "mass murderer" were a "joke at first".
She told BBC News: "A couple with some dogs just came up to the window and were having a look in, but they walked off really quickly and I didn't think anything of it.
"I didn't know until after we left that these people phoned in saying that there was a mass murderer; they were wearing a robe and they were walking all over all of the people, and it looked like some kind of ritual, and that the people on the floor were actually dead."
Laws added: "I guess from the outside view it could look like that, because they're all really still, very nice and relaxed.
"I'm sure their imagination was running wild with what was going on."
