As investigations into an alleged hit and run in Cooma continue, police have released pictures of a man they think could assist with their inquiries.
An unknown man is accused of entering a Sharp Street clothing store and stealing several items of clothing last month, before jumping into the driver’s seat of a waiting vehicle.
Officers conducting patrols at the time said they saw the vehicle allegedly strike a pedestrian as it drove away from the scene.
Police attempted to stop the vehicle, however the driver allegedly failed to do so. A 15-minute chase followed, which was then called off due to safety concerns.
An older man was allegedly seen in the front passenger seat of the vehicle.
The 31-year-old pedestrian suffered a leg fracture and was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
The vehicle was found abandoned near Shannon Flat Road, Murrumbucca, at about 8:50 pm on the same day (Wednesday, 5 July).
Police have now released images of the vehicle, and of a man they wish to interview.
The man is described as being of Caucasian appearance and aged in his 30s, with medium build, brown hair and a full beard.
At the time he was wearing a green cap, hoodie and black pants.
Anyone who recognises the man or has information into the incident has been urged to call police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Police have also released an image of this black utility in relation to the investigation. Photo: NSW Police.
