The vehicle was spotted floating in Dudley canal near the Tenth Lock pub in Brierley Hill today.

It comes after a suspected stolen Land Rover was found in a canal lock in Tipton on Monday morning.

This time, it is a blue car, however it remains unclear on what make and model it is.

It is unknown how the vehicle ended up in Dudley canal, but posts on Facebook made fun of the scene.

One commenter said: "Iv heard that’s a good place to fish, catch a lot of car’p."

Kevin Davenport, 60, a resident from nearby was taking a walk alongside the canal when he spotted the floating vehicle.

He said: "I often take a walk by the canal and when I spotted it, all I thought was that is disgusting.

"It really is disgusting, because you think of all the fluids such as oils, brake fluid, it will cause damage to the canal.

"I saw the photos of the car in a canal in Tipton on Monday, and now this, it makes you think are they connected in some way."
