Thursday: Via Central Berks Regional Police: HIT & RUN Earlier this morning, these three(3) individuals were involved in a hit-and-run crash and decided to leave their vehicle in the woods on Angora Road in the area of Wanner Road. Apparently, “leave the car in the woods and walk away” sounded like a solid criminal strategy. We’re not sure what the getaway plan was after that maybe hide behind a tree and hope the police forget how cars work. Recognize them?
