Chatham County authorities have recovered a vehicle from a pond in Moncure that was reported stolen out of Harnett County.

A release says an anonymous tip came in to the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office that the 2007 Chevy Aveo in question could be located in a pond off Chatham Church Road in Moncure.

Crews from the Pittsboro Fire Department and Lee County Emergency Management teamed up on February 8 to pinpoint the location of the vehicle in the pond, but officials say the cold temperatures prevented divers from being able to enter the water.

Warmer temperatures allowed divers to search the pond this week. On Monday, the missing vehicle was located and towed from the water.

Detectives matched the vehicle with the description provided by Harnett County.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol and the Sheriff’s Offices from Chatham and Harnett County are now working together as the investigation continues.
