Mannequin prank a “dummy” move…….
Sherwood Park, Alberta – This morning at approximately 6:30 a.m, Strathcona County RCMP responded to a complaint of a possible body hanging from a power line along Wye Road east of Range Road 216. The citizen who called in with the information believed it was a possible prank but was not completely sure.

“This is certainly concerning to us.” said Cpl Darren Anderson of the Strathcona County RCMP. ” Any time you are dealing with 
power lines there is a potential for danger not only to our responders but to whoever was responsible for putting the mannequin there in the first place.”
