Two carjackings happened roughly an hour apart Monday morning in the Lake View neighborhood on Chicago's North Side.

Around 2:20 a.m., an 18-year-old was entering his car when he was approached by two suspects who exited a black Jeep and demanded his keys in the 3200 block of North Ashland Avenue, police said. The victim complied and the carjackers drive off in his black Honda Civic with the Jeep following them.

Roughly an hour later a man and a woman were parking their vehicle when three people got out of a black sedan and demanded the keys at gunpoint in the 4000 block of North Ashland Avenue, police said.
