A kayaker paddling the Saco River on Thursday found a submerged car that police say was reported stolen two years ago.
The kayaker was paddling the river near the Market Street bridge about 2 p.m. when he noticed an object he believed to be a car beneath the surface, according to Saco police Detective Sgt. Chris Hardiman.
Hardiman said water levels and currents at the site were lower than normal because of a fishway project downstream at the Elm Street bridge.
The vehicle was lifted out from the water and onto the Market Street bridge and removed about 8 p.m. Hardiman said an investigation revealed that the car was reported stolen to the Saco Police Department in 2017.
