Power Outage Resulting From a Hit and Run Collision

At approximately midnight on January 9, 2013 the electrical power supply was disrupted to the majority of residences and businesses on the east side of Chestermere. The power disruption lasted for approximately three hours. It was soon determined there was a motor vehicle collision to a fence and a power pole at a residence near the intersection of East Chestermere Drive and Merganser Drive East which was the cause of the power outage. The vehicle involved in the collision, although likely heavily damaged, was driven away from the scene prior to the police attendance.

Chestermere RCMP are seeking the assistance of the public to identify the vehicle and driver of this collision. It is believed the involved vehicle will have front end damage.

If anyone has any information in this crime or any other please contact the Chestermere RCMP at (403) 204-8777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or through the internet at www.tipsubmit.com. Crime stoppers will pay cash rewards up to $2000.00 for information that leads to an arrest, the recovery of stolen property or seizure of illegal drugs. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and the identity of the caller will remain anonymous.
