Juveniles driving carjacking trend in Chicago
Sadly, a 17-year-old is not the youngest suspect that members of Chicago's carjacking task force have seen. They arrested a well-known 11-year-old that was part of a carjacking crew, and it was not his first time.
CHICAGO - A 14-year-old boy was arrested Saturday after trying to carjack a man on Chicago's West Side.
The teen is charged with one felony count of attempted aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm and one misdemeanor count of reckless conduct.
The teen allegedly tried to carjack a 30-year-old man in the 3800 block of West Arthington Street Saturday night.
