Armed police officers were called to the underground car park at The Shires centre in Trowbridge this afternoon, after members of the public reported seeing a group of youths with guns.
Two police cars containing armed response officers arrived at the scene at 1.25pm, only to discover a group of college students filming with replica guns.
A police spokesman said: "A member of the public thought they saw someone with a gun and called it in.
"The group have been given words of advice about doing it in a public area."
