Recently, a
posting appeared on social media reporting that a kidnapping attempt occurred
at the Regal Cinema in Montrose. This is
not true.
No incident
of this nature has taken place to the knowledge of the Copley Police
Department. If it did take place, no one
reported the incident to our officers.
Although
social media can help quickly and efficiently get news out to a large audience,
it can also serve to create panic when false information is recklessly shared.
If anyone
has any knowledge of an incident of this nature, the community would be better
served if that person immediately reported the incident to their local
police. A quick investigation is the
best way to sort through the facts and the rumors and identify the responsible
persons.
Call Copley Police at 330-666-4218 to speak to an Officer.
