A squad of armed offenders who responded to reports of possible gunshots in Dunedin last night ended up finding a teen playing Fortnite.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said police were called to Paterson St in Abbotsford at about 5pm by a concerned neighbour who thought they had heard yelling and gunshots from a nearby address.
However, the disturbance was due to a combination of a teen yelling while playing Fortnite and the sound of a motorbike back-firing.
"Police inquiries revealed it was the sound of a motorbike backfiring at the same time a young male was yelling at his friends over online gaming frustrations," Dinnissen said.
