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 17-year-old boy is accused of carjacking 11 victims at gunpoint over the last two weeks.

Nine of the carjackings occurred on the same day.

The teen faces 11 felony counts of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm and two felony counts of criminal damage.

The teen was arrested Tuesday after he was identified by Chicago police as one of the offenders who carjacked multiple victims while armed with a gun.
