Seven suspected stolen vehicles have been retrieved from Mohawk Lake, with initial investigation finding no involvement with any other crime.

On Friday, April 8, 2022, Brantford Police Service officers with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police Dive Team recovered seven vehicles located submerged in Mohawk Lake.

Initial investigation found no evidence to suspect these vehicles were involved with any other crime.

This is being treated as a property crime investigation, as many of the vehicles are believed to be stolen.

All recovered vehicles were 1970’s models and have sustained significant damage as a result of being submerged in the water for what appears to be an extended period of time. The recovered vehicles are as follows:
#1  AMC Pacer               1975-1977     red
#2  Ford Cortina            1972-1975     brown
#3  Chevrolet C10         1970-1975    blue 
#4  Plymouth Caravelle          1978     green
#5  Chrysler Cordoba             1977     white 
#6  Pontiac GTX            1970–1975    white
#7  Buick Riviera           1970-1975     blue
