Cuyahoga County employee injured in carjacking on county property

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A Cuyahoga County employee was injured in a carjacking in an employee parking lot, according to county spokesperson Jennifer Ciaccia.

On Oct. 24, a female county employee was physically removed from her vehicle at gunpoint, Ciaccia said in an email.

Her car was parked in an employee parking lot on Euclid Avenue.

Ciaccia said the woman “suffered multiple injuries.”
