• Cuyahoga County's carjacking task force was meant to stop violent sprees. Is it working? (cleveland.com) — A recent string of Cleveland-area carjackings included a police chase that briefly passed through Shaker Heights before ending with officers shooting a suspect on the city’s east side. County officials say this violence underscores why they launched a federally funded, data-driven carjacking task force, which is already making arrests but still refining how it targets hot spots across the region.
