GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — The Garfield Heights Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding two suspects involved in a weekend attack.

Authorities said it was around 6:15 a.m. Saturday when officers responded to the 13000 block of Bangor Avenue in reference to a reported kidnapping in progress. Upon arrival, officers found the homeowner bound and locked in her own vehicle.

“The victim stated that she had arrived home earlier in the morning and parked her vehicle in the driveway,” according to a press release from police on Monday. “As she attempted to enter the residence, she was approached by two males armed with handguns where she was struck in the face and eventually bound.”
