HALMSTED, Sweden, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Police say a blow-up doll left by men after a stag party triggered a bomb scare in Halmstad, Sweden.

The doll, found bound and gagged, apparently was jettisoned by the partygoers as they left a bar, the Swedish news agency TT reported Sunday.

Police evacuated a restaurant and cordoned off the area while bomb technicians investigated the scene, TT reported, noting the area was reopened an hour later once police determined the doll posed no threat.
