According to the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services, the most common criminal activities in Cheviot are theft, burglary, and robbery.

If there was violence involved, the charges move to robbery, a felony offense. Even if someone just felt threatened say by the presence of a weapon, you should be prepared for a heavy-handed legal system.
