ORLEANS – Police on Cape Cod had to call in a tow truck to haul away a massive shark that had washed ashore a Massachusetts beach. The Orleans Police Department shared photos of the great white shark being towed away from a local beach.

A “giant” shark was recently found washed up on a Cape Cod beach, prompting police to call in a tow truck to haul away the predator’s remains.

A great white shark described as “giant” appeared on a Cape Cod beach, and authorities took the unusual step of calling a flatbed tow truck to remove it. The discovery was made in Orleans, Massachusetts, about a 90-mile drive southeast from Boston, and police treated the shark like a stuck car.
