Three suspects have been charged after police say they carjacked a woman at gunpoint in Englewood earlier this month.

What we know:

The suspects were arrested June 8 in connection with a vehicular hijacking that occurred less than an hour before their arrest, according to police.

The incident happened in the 600 block of West 63rd Street in a business parking lot in the Englewood neighborhood.

The female victim told officers that after she parked and got out of her vehicle, a man approached her, pointed a gun and demanded her keys, authorities said. The suspect then fled the scene in her vehicle, police said.

Following a citywide robbery enforcement mission, police located the stolen vehicle.

The three suspects fled the vehicle but were arrested by Chicago Police and Illinois State Police. Three firearms were recovered inside the vehicle.
