The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary reported Monday that it had retrieved a stolen car — with the catch being that the vehicle was nabbed almost three decades ago.

The car, a 1970 Opal, was reported stolen in 1984.

In a statement, the RNC said the vehicle had been found "in a garage in the Torbay Road area of the city."

No arrests have yet been made, and police are investigating.
