Lacombe Police are looking for a suspect after a pair of hit and runs that left one person injured on Monday.

On July 15, members received a report of a hit and run collision with injuries at the intersection of Highway 12 and 63 Street in Lacombe.

Police attended and determined that a suspect vehicle described as a dark coloured Mercedes Benz SUV had struck another vehicle from behind, before fleeing east at a high rate of speed.

An occupant of the vehicle that was rear ended was assessed on scene by EMS and transported to Lacombe Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police then received a second complaint that a vehicle matching the description of the Mercedes Benz, involved in the earlier collision, had been involved in a second collision in a green space in the area of Parkland Acres in Lacombe.

Police attended and determined the vehicle had been abandoned and had significant front end damage, with the Mercedes also confirmed as the vehicle involved in the first incident.

Anyone with information regarding either incident is asked to contact Lacombe Police Service at 403-782-3279 or call your local police detachment.

To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
