Police in Coquitlam were busy overnight after they responded to calls of a vehicle in the Fraser River.
Mounties found the vehicle in the water near the boat launch at Maquabeak Park, after being called to the area around 12:15 a.m.
The vehicle was found fully submerged with its lights still on.
Along with firefighters and rescue officials, police said the group was unable to reach the vehicle at the time and could not determine if it was occupied.
Police said two officers entered the water but were unable to access the vehicle, and they were subsequently taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
On Sunday, police said the vehicle was stolen. Divers were able to check the vehicle and no occupants were found.
The investigation remains ongoing and work is being done to remove the vehicle from the river.
Anyone with possible information is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.
