Officials with the Council Bluffs Police Department report officers were dispatched at around 1:15-p.m. Saturday, to 1100 South Shore Drive to the Missouri River boat ramp, where a vehicle was found partially submerged in the river.

They located a 4-door vehicle in the water, stuck by the ice and snow. Council Bluffs Fire Department personnel were able to check inside and found it unoccupied. Arrow Towing successfully pulled the vehicle out of the water after about 3 hours.

The vehicle, a silver Dodge Intrepid, was determined to have been stolen out of Fremont, Nebraska. Authorities said they do not know why the vehicle was in the lake nor is there any suspect/driver information at this time.
