SELDEN, NY — Suffolk detectives are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect they say bolted from the scene of a crash in Selden last month, police said Monday.

A man was driving a dark-colored Jeep in the parking lot of 7-Eleven on Middle Country Road, when it struck a Honda CRV on Jan. 23 at around 10:34 p.m. and then left the scene, according to police.
