KIDNAPPED: Allan the patroller has been taken from his post on the A93.
An urgent appeal has been launched after a patrol officer was kidnapped from his Aberdeenshire station.
Allan is known to many in the Deeside community as the never tiring law enforcer, reminding drivers of the 30mph speed limit on the A93 Braemar to Glenshee road.
The protector of children, elderly folk and red squirrels, the male mannequin was last seen at 1.30pm this afternoon dressed in police uniform and a hi vis jacket.
But he has now gone and not of his own volition.
