Louisiana Fisherman Finds Stolen Car in River

A Louisiana fisherman caught a little more than he was expecting on a recent outing to the Red River near Natchitoches on Sunday. He reeled in a car.

(Okay, maybe he just found the car and didn't actually land it in the boat with a mere 20-pound test line.)

According to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Office, the fisherman observed the vehicle in the Red River while fishing. He reported it to authorities around 2:30 pm.

NPSO Divers, along with the assistance of a Red River Parish towing service, were able to recover the vehicle later in the afternoon.

Deputies said the vehicle was a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro. It was also unoccupied.

The VIN was run through the National Crime Information Center to determine the registered owner. That information has not been released, but it was confirmed by deputies that the vehicle was stolen and reported to the Natchitoches Police Department.
