On 7/3/20, I met a party in the lobby of the NPD for a past hit and run report. The RP, Aleksander Duri ( MA Reg: 2LG632) stated he was parked in the Wegmans parking garage on 6/27/20. When Duri returned to his vehicle there was a note on it that said "I just saw a car hit your driver side back bumper. Teenage boy was driving, license plate 159XT5 Blue Subaru outback. If you have damage and need a witness you can call me [phone number in witness section]." MA Reg: 159XT5 comes back to a 2013 blue Subaru Outback registered to Emily Franklin-Strauss. In the census it lists three males who reside at the address in the same age group (DOB of 11/8/2001, 5/20/2004 and 7/2/1999). I attempted to call the phone number on file with negative results. There are cameras in the Wegmans garage however it did not capture the accident. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On Monday, July 6, 2020, I attempted to make contact with the registered owner of MV2, Emily Franklin-Strauss (S56184971), with a negative result. A Hit and Run inquiry was mailed to Ms. Franklin-Strauss. On Wednesday, July 15, 2020, I spoke with the operator of MV2, Samuel Strauss (S90135443), via telephone. Strauss stated he was operating MA: 159XT5 at the time of the crash in the parking garage. Strauss stated he was backing his vehicle up and heard a sound. Strauss stated he got out of his vehicle and looked for damage on the parked car he backed up into. Strauss stated he stayed on scene for 7-10 minutes and left after he observed no damage. Strauss stated a claim has been filed and insurance is now involved. Strauss stated he is an inexperienced driver and did not know what to do in a situation like this. Strauss was advised that if he is invovled in a crash in the future, he should contact the local police department in the city the the crash occurs in so the police can help faciliate an exchange of information. Strauss stated there was another passenger in the vehicle with him at the time of the crash named David Banteekhan. Strauss could not provde any other information for this party except that he lives in Newton and his Snapchat name is DDavid5935. I could not find any other information on this party. No injuries reported. Strauss is a student at Newton South High School. No futher action will be taken.
