Witnessed a hit & run, but recorded license plate & driver
UPDATE: Victim seems to know now and left. Prior to, I went and left a note mentioning the plate, and make/model. Found out after, the SUV driver informed security hours later and the latter left a note with the SUV's contact info. Maybe that was in hopes that they both settle this outside of insurance, I'm not sure. Thanks to everyone for the advice.
Saw an SUV sideswipe a parked car at the lot beside my work. Ran up and snapped pictures of the victim's car, as well as catching up with the SUV driver and recording him admitting to fault with his plate number in view.
Gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him to inform our building security so that they could both file a report and maybe inform the victim, but when I checked with security minutes later, they never heard of it.
Security had me send over the pictures and videos, as well as noting down the plates of both cars; and said that they will file a report. SUV driver had also apparently left the lot shortly after I did.
My question is should I still inform the police on my end, or would I eventually be contacted to provide some sort of statement? Just wanna make sure I'm doing what I can to help out the victim.
