Years ago, Cleveland’s cops were required to live in the city and a lot of them picked to settle into the West Park neighborhood.
But crime’s creeping in, even taking the life of an officer who lived here a few months ago.A grand jury indicted Tamara McLoyd on charges in more aggravated robberies.
On Christmas day, police say McLoyd carjacked someone in the same lot where she shot Officer Shane Bartek during a carjacking on New Year’s Eve.Sifting through the data and our past stories, it appears carjackings and auto thefts are the neighborhood’s biggest crime problem. “The one that I am particularly interested in Mr. Chair is the rash of automobile thefts,” Slife said. “There was a juvenile in Ward 17 that stole three cars from Hopkins Airport in one day.”
Slife started asking the city to increase police presence here when things began to get out of control last year.
