The vehicles were most likely stolen, police said. “The initial investigation found no evidence that these vehicles were involved in any other crime,” police said in a press release on Wednesday. “As these vehicles are believed to have been stolen, this is being treated as a property crime investigation.” Police said the vehicles were pulled from Lake Mohawk on April 8 with the help of an Ontario Provincial Police diving team. All vehicles are 1970s models. A Chevrolet C10 truck, circa 1970-75, is among seven suspected stolen vehicles recovered from Lake Mohawk. Submitted Bradford police spokesman Robin Matthews-Osmond said the vehicles were located while OPP conducted an irrelevant search last week on Lake Mohawk. Police believe they have now pulled all the vehicles out of the water. They are a red AMC Pacer 1975-77, a brown Ford Cortina 1972-75, a blue Chevrolet C10 1970-75, a green Plymouth Caravelle 1978, a white Chrysler Cordoba 1977, a white GTX 1970-75 and a blue Ponti 1970-75 Buick Riviera. Police said all vehicles “suffered significant damage as a result of drowning for an apparent extended period of time”.
