The program, called the Pueblo Auto Body Alert, will be a partnership between Pueblo police and local auto repair companies. When there’s a hit-and-run crash, the police department will email the body shops as much information as they can about the vehicle(s) they are trying to find.
“Sometimes hit-and-run suspects, or the owners of vehicles involved in these hit-and-runs, will try to get the vehicle repaired to destroy evidence of the crime. That is where repair automotive professionals come in,” the police department said.
