The Leawood Police Department says a volunteer dive team found a vehicle belonging to a missing person in a pond on Saturday morning.
In a news release, Leawood Police Department spokesperson Capt. Jason Ahring said the vehicle was found in a retention pond in the 14700 block of Norwood Street, after the dive team deployed sonar equipment into the pond.
The retention pond is in the LeaBrooke neighborhood, near 148th Street and Kenneth Road.
Ahring said the sonar equipment detected a large metal object. The team then sent in a diver to investigate further.
The diver found a car with a license plate that matched the vehicle of a missing person.
“Leawood Police were notified just before noon of the team’s discovery,” Ahring said in the release. “With help from the Overland Park Police Department’s dive team, a tow truck successfully removed the vehicle from the pond.”
Ahring said police are working to notify the missing person’s family.
No other details have been released.
