On Tuesday, June 2, at approximately 10:00 a.m., the Summit County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of a suspicious person on Greensburg Road in the City of Green. It was reported that a male suspect was attempting to break into vehicles.
When the Sheriff’s Deputy responded, she witnessed an RV leave the scene at a high rate of speed with the doors open and a power cord dragging behind the vehicle.
