Car pulled from lake in DeKalb County

Fire crews pulled a car out of a DeKalb County lake Wednesday afternoon.

Someone spotted the car in Lake Norris in Snellville and divers eventually located it, DeKalb fire spokesman Capt. Eric Jackson said.

The car, a stolen 2013 Chrysler 200, was pulled from the lake about 5:30 p.m. Jackson said the car was reported stolen in 2015.

Jackson said the car was locked, but crews went through it to see if someone was trapped inside.
