The Winfield Police Department is investigating a stolen vehicle taken from the Winfield City Lake.
According to the Cowley County Sheriff’s Department’s activity report Wednesday, deputies were notified just after 2 a.m. Wednesday of a stolen vehicle traveling into Cowley County that was being chased by a Sumner County deputy.
