Sheshatshiu RCMP is seeking assistance from the public following a recent hit and run collision that occurred on November 17, 2024, on Pasteen Street in Sheshatshiu.

Approximately 11:45 p.m., police received the report of the collision. A red car reversed into a section of fencing surrounding the Roman Catholic Church in Sheshatshiu, and drove away.
