On Tuesday, March 02, 2022 at approximately 2126hrs, I, Officer Fay responded to the intersection of Chestnut St. and Larchmont Ave. for a report of a vehicle that had struck a sign. Prior to my arrival dispatch informed me that the vehicle that had struck the sign was a blue hatchback, but the reporting party was unable to see a license plate. Upon arrival, I noticed tire tracks of a vehicle that had hopped the curb and sidewalk that was travelling Northbound and a yellow pedestrian sign that had been struck. Upon closer inspection of the area I noticed a fire hydrant had been struck as well. The fire hydrant was broken off when hit by the vehicle and had broke through fence of the house at 750 Chestnut St. Pictures of the scene and the damaged property were taken and sent to the IT Bureau to be attached to this report. I spoke to the resident of 750 Chestnut St., Vladimir Valtchinov, in regards to his damaged fence. I also asked Valtchinov if he had heard or seen anything in regards to the incident. Valtchinov stated that he did not see anything, but did hear a loud bang outside his house. I informed Valtchinov that a report would be generated in regards to this incident. Upon canvassing the area in search of the vehicle. I was unable to locate the vehicle. I also spoke to the resident of 757 Chestnut St. who had cameras facing the street, which they stated the cameras did not capture the incident, but are only able to see a live feed.
