Police appeal to public over car stuck in River Ure
Officers say it’s been there for months, they’ve known about it for months and they are not responsible for moving it.
“We’re always grateful for your vigilance, and the information you provide us,” a spokesman said. “However, in this particular instance, there’s no need to call us or tell us about it!”
The car in the river off Sharow Lane, Sharow, Ripon, was first spotted by a member of the public on Christmas Eve.
Specialist water rescue units from Selby and Skipton and fire crews from Ripon and Harrogate carried out extensive searches in the river and on the bankside without finding anyone.
Police then confirmed separately that everyone in the car when it went into the river had got out safely and passed the incident to the Environment Agency to arrange for the car to be got back onto dry land..
The car has been in the river ever since – and people are still telling the police it is there.
