“The North Olmsted Police Department will not tolerate this type of activity in our city,” Police Chief Bob Wagner is quoted in the release. “We will continue to investigate and prosecute those individuals that come to our city and violate our laws. We greatly appreciate the help from our law enforcement partners and look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.”
