Cook County sheriff wants to enlist automakers in curbing carjackings

Last year, more carjackings were reported in Chicago than any other city in the nation. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart talks about new legislation that would require automakers to help police investigate carjackings.

A 17-year-old boy is accused of carjacking a food delivery driver at gunpoint last year in Chicago's Austin neighborhood.

The teen faces one felony count of aggravated vehicular carjacking with a firearm.

On Oct. 12, 2021, Chicago police say the teen was one of the offenders who allegedly took a vehicle from a 42-year-old man who was making a food delivery in the 1000 block of North Menard.
