UPDATE – The following is the actual YPD statement from their FB page:

HIT AND RUN DRIVER IDENTIFIED AND WANTED

[NOTE: Erica Lopes has been located and is no longer wanted.]

Thanks to tremendous response to the use of social policing and our Facebook page, we have positively identified the driver and passenger involved in a recent Hit and Run Crash that occurred in West Yarmouth. Within 10 minutes of our post yesterday, one of our over 13,000 FB Fans notified us of the name of the passenger. Based on that tip, a followup investigation conducted by Yarmouth Police Department Patrol Investigator Mark Noone determined who the driver was and that she had a suspended license and had an outstanding warrant for her arrest prior to the crash. The suspect has not been located and we are asking the public for assistance as to her whereabouts. In the meantime, we thank everyone who followed our post and provided constructive input. The post was shared over 2,000 times!

WEST YARMOUTH – Police would like to have a word with the two women in the above photo.

Yarmouth police say these two women were involved in a “significant” hit and run motor vehicle crash on East Main Street a few days ago.

The victim was able to take a the above photo of the driver before she drove off.

As you can see, the driver was trying to hide her face while the passenger appears to be sticking her tongue out, according to a YPD press statement.

Police are trying to identify the passenger and driver of what was described as a gray 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. They are asking the public to “please” take a close look and share.

Anyone with information can message the Yarmouth Police on their Facebook page. You may also reach them by calling 508-775-0445 ext 2340… or by emailing them at info@yarmouthpolice.com
