Police find abducted teen, arrest 3 men

LINCOLN HEIGHTS, Ohio - Police have found a 17-year-old girl who was abducted Wednesday and taken to a residence in Lincoln Heights.

Police say three men were arrested in the 400 block of Matthews Drive in Lincoln Heights in connection with the abduction.

Officers were able to use a cell phone signal to call the abducted girl and she told police she was being held in a Lincoln Heights apartment building and could see a church. That vague description proved to be enough for her rescue.

The girl told police the men were heavily armed, and that she was held against her will and raped.

Arrested are Orlando Crawford, 33, Pierre Beal, 29, and Demetrius Price, 25, all of Lincoln Heights, and all convicted felons. They are being held on a $1 million bond each.

Police say they found three loaded guns during the arrest.

Details of the investigation reveal that the girl may have agreed initially to go with the three men, but was then not allowed to leave because of the threat of their guns.

The girl remains with Hamilton County Jobs & Family Services.

No other details have been released at this time and the incident remains under investigation.
