The SUV was unoccupied by the time police arrived and markings at the scene suggested the suspect or suspects fled on foot.
Bay St. George RCMP is looking to identify whoever is responsible for stealing a SUV and crashing it into a shed in Stephenville Crossing early Sunday morning. Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says just before 5:00 a.m. police received a report of the stolen vehicle which had been taken from the driveway of a private property in the community. The complainant woke to noises outside their home and later discovered that their sport utility vehicle (SUV) had been taken. A search of the Bennett Street area located fresh tire markings on the roadway, and recent damage to a guardrail at the top of an embankment. The stolen SUV was found down the embankment, resting on top of a completely destroyed garden shed.
The SUV was unoccupied by the time police arrived and markings at the scene suggested the suspect or suspects fled on foot. O’Donaghey says a canine team was called in to help with a search of the area. The SUV was seized and Forensic Identification Services (FIS) is assisting with an examination of the vehicle for physical evidence.
Anyone with any information related to this incident is asked to contact Bay St. George RCMP at 709-643-2118.
