A woman was carjacked at gunpoint as she stepped out of her car near her Northwest Side house on Wednesday night, and two suspects are in arrest.
The victim, 28, told police she had just gotten out of her vehicle in the 3400 block of West Byron Street when two men approached her, implying they had a weapon, and demanded her car around 10:25 p.m. She obeyed, and the males drove away in her Nissan Rogue, first traveling east then turning south on Kimball Avenue, according to police.
According to CPD, the victim was uninjured and denied medical assistance.
Less than 30 minutes after the carjacking, police tracked the vehicle down to the 7100 block of South Perry Avenue in the Park Manor area. Cops apprehended two individuals walking away from the Rogue. The victim was escorted to the scene, where she identified the two males who had stolen her automobile, according to police. Charges are pending.
The carjacking may not have been the perpetrators’ first attempt that night. Another woman claimed about 10 minutes before the incident on Byron Street that two men came and attempted to attack her near her car in the 3700 block of North Kimball Avenue. That woman escaped and did not file a formal report, but police believe the same two men attempted to carjack her.
