Police Search for Cars in Australia and Canada

Introduction

Police in Australia and Canada need help. They want to find two cars from two different crimes.

Main Body

In Queensland, a car hit Eathan Henry on May 2. Eathan is 18 years old. He is very sick. The driver knew about the accident but did not stop. Police are looking at videos from cameras. In Nova Scotia, a man named Jayden Tynes died on November 2. Someone shot him. Police are looking for a white Hyundai Elantra car. It has dark windows. The government in Canada wants to find the killer. They will pay up to $150,000 to the person who gives the right information.
