THE police yesterday recovered a pickup which is suspected to have been involved in the fatal hit-and-run accident last Thursday on Sheriff Street when a 17-year-old lad was killed and his cousin injured.

Traffic Chief Dion Moore who spoke with this publication confirmed that they were able to pick up a vehicle in North Sophia.
The vehicle’s registration number is said to be GHH 5201 but police were unable to pick up the driver at the time they confiscated the vehicle.
Moore explained that when the vehicle was found, ranks could not at the time get access to information at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to verify the identity and address of the owner.
Last Thursday Travis Bollers, 17, was riding a motorcycle along Sheriff Street with his cousin Quacy McAlman on the pillion when a vehicle sped out of Pike Street and collided with them. The driver reportedly exited the pickup and took a look at the two youths who were sprawled bleeding on the roadway before making a getaway.
Bollers died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital. The brother of the dead youth then took to his Facebook page pleading with persons to come forward with any information they might have that could lead to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver.
The young man also gave a description of the vehicle that struck down his brother, based on reports from eyewitnesses.
The police over the weekend began receiving information on the likely whereabouts of the vehicle and reportedly came closer on Monday to locating it. Police yesterday reportedly searched all day until they came to the location where the suspected hit and run vehicle was hidden.
