RCMP in Russell had an interesting recent recovery effort.
A few weeks ago, Mounties received a report of a submerged vehicle in Lake of the Prairies within the RM of Riding Mountain - West.
They vehicle was spotted by a fish finder, with photos and a GPS location provided to police.
The RCMP Underwater Recovery team used sonar to get a license plate number for the vehicle, which helped them determine that the submerged vehicle was a 1970s pickup truck.
Police then found the owner, who told them he'd been returning home in the winter of 1990 and took a shortcut across the ice, but the truck went through.
The owner added everyone got out safely, and that he had returned multiple times over the years trying to locate the truck, but had never found it.
