Police say two officers who responded to complaints about a raucous weekend party in western Germany were mistaken for male strippers by the female guests.

Simmern police spokesman Bernd Hoffmann says neighbors called police around 12.45 a.m. Sunday to complain about noise from a birthday party in their building.

A round of applause from the apartment resident _ who had just turned 30 _ and her friends greeted two officers who went to investigate.

Hoffmann said Monday that "they thought the policemen were dressed like that because they were strippers. It took them a while to realize they were real police officers."

Hoffmann says the women had not ordered strippers but thought someone had sent them as a birthday surprise.

The incident resulted in no arrests.
