Five men, some wearing sombreros and wielding a gavel, ran through the courthouse, spurring the police to call on the FBI and bomb-sniffing dogs to get involved before finding out it could possibly have been a joke, AP reports.

The five foreign men, all in their 20s, were caught and arrested in the courthouse Wednesday morning, Reuters reports. Police say they found photographs of public buildings, water systems and malls from various U.S. cities in their van, triggering the terrorism task force to question them, Reuters reports.

Three men were found inside the 120-year-old landmark Bexar County Courthouse in downtown San Antonio, while the other two were found in their RV parked out front, courthouse spokesperson Laura Jesse said, Reuters reports.

Authorities said they had no weapons, didn’t appear dangerous and spoke little English but cooperated with authorities through the help of a translator, AP reports.

"It's just very strange," Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said, AP reports. "If it was some kids in the neighborhood, you'd think it was a prank."

The men, who a senior FBI official said appear to be of Moroccan descent, reportedly forced their way into the courthouse around 1 a.m., ABC News reports.
