Chicago crime: 17-year-old boy arrested 2 years after alleged armed carjacking on West Side

CHICAGO - A teenage boy was arrested this week, two years after he allegedly participated in an armed carjacking on Chicago's West Side.

Authorities said that additional offenders were involved in the crime. 

The teen was arrested by members of the Vehicular Hijacking Task Force on Wednesday in the 2100 block of East 87th Street.
