Wanted: Hit-and-run suspects

WILMINGTON—Police are searching for two suspects involved in two separate hit-and-runs.

One is a female suspect that damaged Coastal Car Wash’s blowers when she drove through the wrong way with a large refrigerator in the truck bed. The tag on the truck is fictitious. She visited the car wash franchise on 5201 Sigmon Rd.

Another suspect, 25-year-old Tristan Brashear, is wanted for two separate hit-and-runs — in September and in November.

The Wilmington Police Department asks for information involving either case be directed to (910) 343-3609.
