Guelph police say an 18-year-old man filed a false collision report after he was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run crash in the downtown core last month.
The crash happened between a pickup truck and a taxi near Wyndham and Carden streets just after 2 a.m. on Dec. 30.
The pickup fled the scene with extensive damage to the front passenger side and may have been missing part of its bumper, according to police.
Police said later that day, a man filed a report at the collision reporting centre that his black pickup truck was damaged while parked overnight near Neeve and Cross streets.
