(KAIR)--A vehicle believed to be a pickup truck caused damage to private, Atchison County property before driving off, leaving vehicle parts behind and leading the Atchison County Sheriff's Office to call on the public for assistance with the case.
That's according to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, who says the possible hit and run was reported shortly after 12:45 Monday morning, with Sheriff's Deputies responding to 206th and Decator Road where "the property owner reported that a corner fence post had been struck by a vehicle causing the post to break off and pushed to the ground."
Investigators believe the crash happened sometime before 1:15 on the afternoon of September 13, and are in the possession of vehicle parts left at the scene, which Laurie says "are believed to belong to a white Chevrolet Diesel (6.6 Turbo) pickup including the front grill, bumper, plastic molding, and a wheel-well cover."
Laurie asks that anyone who has information related to the investigation to call his office at 913-367-4323 or submit a tip at the Sheriff's Office website.
