Stolen vehicle found in Amanns Reservoir

A 1991 yel­low Ford pickup stolen out of Can­dle­wood Lake more than a week ago was pulled from Amanns Reser­voir in north­ern Mor­row County Sun­day evening.

The Galion Police Depart­ment was dis­patched to the area of Amanns and Amicks Reser­voirs May 20 in ref­er­ence to a vehi­cle in the water. Offi­cers checked the area, were unable to locate a vehi­cle and spoke with a fish­er­man, who advised he had not seen or heard anything.

Mem­bers of the Iberia Fire Depart­ment and Morow County EMS arrived to assist, and as an offi­cer was walk­ing back to the cruiser, he was approached by a man stat­ing the vehi­cle they were look­ing for was in the water below the dam area.

The Mor­row County Dive Team, Ronk’s Tow­ing and the Ohio Depart­ment of Nat­ural Resources were con­tacted. Vol­un­teers from Mor­row County arrived on scene to assist. When Ronk’s arrived on the scene the diver was able to hook up the vehi­cle and it was pulled out with­out incident.

Dis­patch advised that there had been a blue Yamaha dirt bike in the bed of the truck when it was stolen. The area was checked again, but no bike was found.

This case remains under inves­ti­gation by the Mor­row County Sheriff’s Department.
