Police, Tops seek ID help for Henrietta Tops hit-and-run suspect

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Police are seeking public assistance in identifying a suspect who allegedly crashed her car into the Henrietta Tops Monday, injuring a Salvation Army employee.

At 3:15 p.m. Monday, deputies with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to the Tops on Jefferson road for the report of a car in the building.

According to investigators, a white Hyundai sedan had backed out of a handicapped spot when it struck the Tops vestibule, knocking down a shelf inside. A Salvation Army employee inside the building was injured from the falling shelf. She was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital for evaluation — her injuries are non-life-threatening, according to police.

The car drove off before deputies arrived, but witnesses described the driver as a white woman in her 60s. Wednesday, representatives with Tops Friendly Markets working with MCSO released the following photo of the suspect:
