A PARKED Mercedes was hit by another vehicle in a Dorchester car park, before the driver left the scene without leaving details.

Police have now launched an appeal for information following the incident on Tuesday, December 21, 2021.

It is reported that at around 1.10pm a collision occurred involving a silver Mercedes, which was stationary, and a silver or grey Mini Clubman in the car park outside Parkhouse Pet Supplies on the Marabout Industrial Estate.

The driver of the Mini failed to stop at the scene and drove out of the car park without leaving their details.

“I am appealing to anyone who has seen a vehicle matching the description given with possible damage since the date of the incident to please come forward.

“I would also urge the driver involved to do the right thing and contact Dorset Police so we can take your account of what happened.”
