Hernando couple looking for suspect that drove into their property
HERNANDO, Miss. — A Hernando couple could be out of thousands of dollars after someone crashed into both of their vehicles and their garage over the weekend and took off running.
That couple is now calling on the community to help them find the driver.
The Garrity Family said shock was their initial reaction after they were awakened by the sound of their property being hit.
They said it's a situation you just can't make up.
The moment you see the dark-colored SUV hit their vehicle is about the same time their dog began to alert them.
The vehicle, believed to be a Chevy Equinox or something similar, was seen driving away moments after the collision.

By the time the couple got outside to assess the damage, the SUV was gone and their truck and Jeep were damaged, their garbage can was crushed, their garage was totaled and even some potential structural damage inside.
The family said that while this has been a lot to process, their community has been there to support them as they look for answers.
'We've got neighbors right behind us that came over the very next day or the same day actually and we were all playing super sleuth, driving around looking for the car, walking down the street picking up the parts that had fallen off of their car and stuff like that, trying to find the matches,' Mike Garrity said. 'That's how we ended up finding what kind of vehicle it was because one of the part numbers was lying on a piece that was in our driveway.'
'And the bigger pieces, the police took [them] with them once they came and took the report,' Bobbie Garrity said.
The family said that due to it being a holiday, they will have to wait to get estimates on the damages.
