City of Rocky River Police Division Alert October 23, 2016 This morning, at approximately 11:00 AM, the Rocky River Police Department took a call reporting a kidnapping on Detroit Rd. near Linda St. The caller provided a good description of the vehicle involved and its occupants. Within minutes, Rocky River Police located and stopped the vehicle, ensured the safety of the victim, and made three arrests. Police have determined that the victim, a 26-year-old Cleveland woman, knew and had a prior relationship with the suspects, that they were having a dispute over property, and that illegal drugs were involved. Three adults from Parma and Parma Heights have been arrested in this regard. There is no reason to believe that there is a continued or ongoing threat to public safety as a result of this incident. Rocky River remains a safe community in which to live and work. However, no level of violence or property crime is deemed acceptable.
