Yes, it is correct.
We often omit the pronoun (or subject) after the word 'and' to avoid repetition.

when we have the same subject.
The book was cheap and bought it.
The book was cheap and we bought it
Sorry, it is not the best example, but I hope it clarifies what I am trying to say. "The book and we" are different subjects, that's why we need both subjects. Would you agree?
