The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office announced an underwater search for possible stolen property, but declined to release the results of that search.

Sheriff Steve Cox said Wednesday his office received tips regarding criminal activity at “area river locations,” and brought in a dive team from the Water Patrol Division. Cox said some of the areas searched were over six feet deep, and said his office does not have the proper equipment to conduct such a search.

“The results of the search are not being released at this time as the investigations are now intense and continuing,” Cox said in a news release.

“Although we are following additional leads, we believe the courts would be more impressed if those responsible were to come forward without being prompted by a law enforcement officer.”
