4 Cars Rifled Through In Westlake

WESTLAKE, OH — Last week, three men were seen running through Westlake at 2 a.m. Officers then discovered four vehicles had been rifled through and loose change was stolen.

On September 3, an Allen Drive resident saw three people running down his street. It was 2 a.m., so they called police and reported the suspicious activity.

Officers couldn't find the men but did see a silver SUV, with out-of-state license plates, prowling around the Mendelssohn Drive neighborhood.

When the driver of the SUV spotted the police cruiser, they took off. The SUV was last seen driving over 100 mph on I-90 east, police said.

Officers then discovered four cars had been ransacked on Allen and Westhill. The only items that appeared to be missing were loose change, police said.

Police believe the SUV that was seen driving on I-90 was a stolen Kia Sorento, which had been taken in Cleveland.
