Stolen SUV found in Stark County pond

A fisherman spotted an SUV in Cook’s Lagoon in the 1800 block of Mahoning Rd NE early Sunday morning.

According to Canton Fire Division Chief Steve Henderson, the Canton man spotted the roof of the SUV in the middle of the pond just before 9 a.m.

The Canton Fire Department’s Water Rescue team and Canton police officers were sent to the scene.

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

Division Chief Henderson said the vehicle was unoccupied and had been reported stolen from an address in Plain Township on Saturday.

The SUV was removed from the water and the incident remains under investigation.
