Stolen vehicle found underwater at Cook’s Lagoon in Canton: What we know

Fire officials say the vehicle’s doors were locked, so rescue personnel had to break the windows to search the SUV.

CANTON, Ohio — As a Canton man was getting ready to go fishing at Cook’s Lagoon shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday in the 1800 block of Mahoning Road NE in Canton, authorities say he noticed the roof of an SUV in the middle of the pond.

The Canton Fire Department’s Water Rescue team and Canton Police Department responded to the scene.

Fire officials say the vehicle’s doors were locked, so rescue personnel had to break the windows to search the SUV -- but it was unoccupied.

“The vehicle was found to be reported stolen from an address in Plain Township on Saturday,” according to a press release from the Canton Fire Department. “Rescue personnel assisted Canton Towing with the removal of the vehicle.”

The incident is currently under investigation.

No injuries were reported.
