Is it likely that police will find the perpetrator of a hit and run car accident if you have all or part of the license plate number and car make and model?

There is an extremely high rate of success with the information given in your case. It's all computerized and not hard to get this information in most cases. Wait a couple of weeks and keep phoning the officer you were talking too to see if they have found this person. If you weren't in touch with a particular officer then phone the police station and find out from there who was at the scene of this accident. Good luck Marcy The only catch to this is that they may have fake plates, as happened to my parents, or stolen ones off another vehicle as happened to a neighbor.
