Mounties need help to find Constable Scarecrow

LLOYDMINSTER- Constable Scarecrow is missing and RCMP in Lloydminster want help getting their colleague back.

Police say the life-size cutout, usually used to enforce traffic safety, was last seen on September 28.

Const. Scarecrow is six-feet two-inches tall, weighs less than 25 pounds and was wearing all green.

Metal cut-outs of uniformed Mounties are placed next to busy roads and intersections in Lloydminster to discourage speeders.

Glenn Alford with the City says each cut-out costs about $325 a fraction of what it would cost to have a real officer monitor the locations.
