• 2:39
  prompting authorities to call a flatbed tow truck for its removal.
• 2:44
  Located about a 90-mile drive southeast of Boston, the unusual situation led police to treat the shark like a stuck vehicle.

  In a Facebook post, Orleans police noted it was not one of our typical calls for service, highlighting the unpredictability of their shifts.
