The Senoia Police Department is actively seeking information after a car was reportedly hit-and-run during a bustling downtown event. The car, a 2017 Toyota Corolla, was discovered with damage to its driver's side door and was parked on Travis Street when the incident occurred. The damage was believed to have happened between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. last Friday night, according to a report by FOX 5 Atlanta. This coincided with the "Alive After Five" event which brought increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic to the area.
The investigation is trying to piece together the specifics of the hit-and-run amidst a scenario where parking was limited. The event's popularity seemingly contributed to the scarcity of available parking spaces, compelling many, including the victim of this incident, to find spots in less-than-ideal locations along downtown roads. The vehicle's owner returned just before 10 p.m. to find their car substantially damaged. This narrative was detailed by WSB-TV.
In response, Senoia police are calling for the public's assistance. They hope that witnesses or anyone with knowledge concerning the incident will come forward. Sgt. Chris Black is the investigator assigned to this case and the department has provided multiple avenues for the community to reach out. Concerned citizens can place a call at 770-599-3256 and leave a message for Sgt. Black or send an email to [email protected].
Engagement from those who were present during the event could prove critical in identifying the individual or individuals responsible for the damage. Police are asking anyone with even seemingly inconsequential information to get in touch, as no lead is too small in these types of incidents. For those wishing to provide a tip, anonymity can be maintained.
