Stolen SUV found in river near Saskatoon weir

Aug 4, 2016 | 12:05 PM

It was a strange sight on the South Saskatchewan River Thursday morning.

Someone spotted a silver SUV in the water just north of The Weir on Spadina Crescent at 33rd Street around 6 a.m.

No one was inside the SUV at the time.

Saskatoon police matched the vehicle to a grey Chevy Tahoe that had been reported stolen from the 700 block of Avenue N South a day before. An extra set of keys had been left inside the glove box. 

An investigation into the theft is still ongoing.

Fire crews worked through thick brush and trees to pull the vehicle from the water.

Police are reminding drivers to keep vehicles locked, remove all valuables and don’t hide spare sets of keys nearby.  

In Saskatchewan, 60 per cent of stolen vehicles had keys inside or were unlocked at the time of theft.
