COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A stolen American Electric Power van with combustible material in its cargo was found Tuesday afternoon after being reported missing earlier in the day, NBC 4 reported.

The van was taken from the area of Marion and Champion avenues between 12:15 a.m. and 8 a.m. and was found along East Deshler Avenue at about 12:30 p.m.

Hazardous materials crews were called to the scene because the van contained acid-core batteries that could have spilled during transport, according to an AEP representative.

The description of the missing truck was posted on "Metro Alert" signs near Columbus freeways.

There is no word on if the person or people who took the van have been apprehended.
