DELAND, Florida (AP) -- Police are searching for a prankster who they say faked a hit-and-run in Florida.

DeLand investigators say someone left a pile of bloodstained gore and a smashed-up motor scooter at a busy intersection Tuesday night.

The culprit left a pile of deer intestines to make it seem like someone was killed. But, there was no body.

Whoever did it made it look so realistic that police taped off the wreckage and sent a helicopter to scan nearby woods.

Police are going to dust the scooter for fingerprints to try to find the culprit.
