At around 3:12-a.m. Bluffs Police were dispatched to a hit and run accident in the area of Ave D and North 16th Street. Upon officers arrival they were informed that after the crash, two males exited a black Acura and ran from the scene. One male was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and the other was wearing a black t-shirt. Officers were informed that Real Value Auto might have video of the accident. As they were reviewing the video they noticed the same males who broke into Sulley Towing were also on scene at Real Value Auto before the accident and they stole a GMC Yukon.

Both the incidents are being investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division. If anyone has any information regarding these incidents it is encouraged to call the Criminal Investigation Division at 712-328-4728 or anonymous tips can be given by calling 712-328-STOP (7867).
