3.  In another incident that day, a driver was stopped on Pinehurst Rd. and Scenic Hwy. when the vehicle in front of her rolled back and hit the front end of her car.  The impact caused her to roll back and hit the car behind her.  

The suspect was driving a maroon Honda Accord and was driven by a tall black male.  A black female was in the passenger side.  Both victims said they saw the Honda pull into the Presidential Plaza shopping center but lost sight of the vehicle after that. 

4.  Around 4:20 p.m., Snellville Police responded to a report in Grayson of yet another hit and run incident.  A woman told police that her sister's car had been parked in front of her house since 11 a.m.  When she came home, she observed parts of the left rear of the car on the ground.  Damage was done to the rear quarter panel and bumper.

The suspect's car was red, a fact known only because there was paint transfer on the victim's car.  Besides that, no further information was available.
