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 16-year-old boy has been charged with carjacking four people at gunpoint in Chicago — all in the same day.

Another juvenile, 17, has been charged with three of those four carjackings as well.

The 16-year-old faces four felony counts of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, one felony count of possessing a stolen vehicle and one misdemeanor count of theft.
