Last updated on Monday, September 28, 2015

(SYRACUSE) - Indiana Conservation Officers are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect(s) in a hit and run boat accident which occurred on Lake Wawasee on Wednesday, September 23.

Witnesses heard a loud crash at Pier 52 off of Ogden Point Road at 1 a.m. and heard two men's voices. The suspect boat quickly left the scene but not before the crash resulted in several thousand dollars in property damage to the pier.

Evidence at the scene suggests the suspect boat had blue and green coloring to some extent as there was a paint transfer left behind on the pier pieces. Additional evidence was collected and is hoped to be matched up to the suspect boat when located.

The investigating officer believes the suspect boat likely has heavy damage as a result of the accident and Officers would like anyone who may have any information on this crime to contact the Indiana Conservation Officers Central Dispatch Center at (812) 837-9536 and you do not have to give your name.
