Eskilstuna, Sweden – Two criminals knew what they wanted as ransom – pizza for everyone!

Two prison inmates in Sweden took two guards hostage on Wednesday, according to media reports.

They barricaded themselves in a guard room of Hallby Prison, some 75 miles west of Stockholm, the news agency TT, the radio station SVT, and other Swedish media reported.

According to the report, the two inmates covered surveillance cameras and demanded a helicopter.

The hostages are said to be a man and a woman, while the prisoners were serving sentences for being convicted of murder, according to the newspaper Aftonbladet.

They suspects are allegedly 30 and 24-years-old and said to be armed with razor blades.

In the afternoon, according to SVT and Aftonbladet, they demanded all 20 inmates of their ward should get pizza with kebab toppings, and in return one hostage would be released.

Shortly afterwards, photos actually showed police officers putting several pizza boxes into a car at a local pizza parlor for delivery to the prison. The pizzeria confirmed to TT that 20 kebab pizzas had been taken away.

The police initially only said that a major operation was taking place at the prison and that officers with special authority were on the scene of "the very dangerous situation."

In the afternoon, they confirmed on their website that the two inmates had barricaded themselves in a room where two prison guards were also located. An investigation into the abduction has been launched.

Hallby Prison has 98 spaces in security class 1, the highest security level for Swedish prisons, according to the Swedish Prison Inspectorate.

At 9:30 PM local time, local news confirmed both guards has been freed, and the two inmates had been taken to the police station.

There was no word on if the pizzas were successfully delivered, but if so, many of the inmates will be eating well tonight.
