On February 10, 2020 at approximately 1911 hours, while on patrol in Newton Centre Sq, I was approached by a woman who wished to report a past MV hit and run. Ms. Eileen Kavall stated last Thursday(02/06) between the hours of 1745 and 1830, her MV was parked in a handicap spot in front of the Star Market at 1 Boylston St. While parking her vehicle, she noticed a large white SUV parked in the spot directly next to her. She stated this vehicle was also in a handicap parking space but did not see a handicap sticker on the vehicle. When Eileen exited the store, she observed damage to her front left fender and the SUV was gone. I also observed this damage. Eileen did not have a number plate for the MV that hit her but stated the Star Market may have cameras facing where the incident occurred. I then provided Eileen with an accident report number and went to Star market to speak with the manager. At Star Market, I spoke with Janet Yaksic, store manager, who stated she remembered speaking with Eileen about the accident. Janet stated that she would have to contact the store's director in order to contact the loss prevention employees who do not work on site. The loss prevention employees would be able to review any possible footage by the end of the week and contact Newton Police with their findings. I left my name and contact info with Janet. This accident is still under investigation pending a review of the Star Market footage. Update: 02/22/20 I have not received any video surveillance from Star Market. RP will be advised to pursue with their insurance company.
