Robbery On Crest Road In Cleveland Heights, 3 Arrested

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Four men were involved in a robbery near Goodnor Road and Washington Boulevard on Thursday night. Police were able to apprehend three of the suspects, but the fourth has yet to be identified, Cleveland Heights Police Chief Annette Mecklenburg said.

Residents may have noticed a large police presence in the area at about 10 p.m., Mecklenburg said in a post on NextDoor. That's when callers reported a robbery in the area of the old Milikin School on Crest Road. The suspects were four teenagers.

Police searched the area and saw three of the suspects as they were entering Cain Park. An officer was able to detain one of the suspects, but the other two ran off on foot.

Officers continued to search the area, locating the other two suspects in the area of Cedar Road and Goodnor Road a short while later. All three suspects were determined to be involved in the robbery and have been taken into custody, Mecklenburg said. Two of the males were under 18, one is at least 18-years-old.

Detectives are still investigating the incident and following leads to determine who the fourth suspect in the robbery is.
