A statue of the legendary green ogre Shrek has disappeared in the small US town of Hatfield, Massachusetts. Evidence from the crime scene indicates that the perpetrators dragged the heavy statue across the ground.
Authorities have published an appeal to local residents asking for help.
“If you have any information of his [Shrek's] current whereabouts please reach out to our department or return him in the condition you found him,” the Hatfield Police Department said.
The owner of the statue noted that despite setting him back $500, the piece of art is priceless to him.
Hatfield Police have approached the search with humor, noting in a social media post that “the dragon sculpture he [Shrek] lives with is frustrated and lonely.”
