HALIFAX – Halifax Regional police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man who stole a transport truck and hit a minivan in the early hours of Oct. 31.
Police were called to Harvey’s at 3434 Kempt Road in Halifax at 4:16 a.m. after a transport truck was stolen. Two employees making a delivery at the restaurant said they saw a man get into the cab of the truck and drive away.
As he was leaving the parking lot, the suspect hit a minivan on Kempt Road and kept going. The driver of the minivan was not injured.
At 6 a.m., police were again called to the intersection of Jubilee Road and Chestnut Street, where the delivery truck had been abandoned.
A witness said they saw the suspect walking east on Jubilee Road with a woman.
Police searched the area, but did not find either person.
The suspect is described as a white man in his 20’s, 5’9″ with long, light brown hair. He was wearing light blue scrubs, had a hospital mask hanging from his neck, and was carrying a skateboard.
