CHICAGO — Police are investigating after a woman was carjacked at gunpoint in Roscoe Village on Thursday evening.
The woman was in the 3400 block of North Wolcott when two men and two women approached her around 9:39 p.m., according to a witness. The females drove away with the woman’s white Kia while the men returned to an SUV with a two-tone paint job and fled the scene, the witness said.
A Chicago police spokesperson said the department did not have any official details available on Friday morning because the report was still being finalized.
Last night’s carjacking occurred in the Town Hall (19th) District, where robberies are up 16% this year and up 66% compared to 2020, according to CPD. Town Hall covers the area from Fullerton to Lawrence and the river to the lake.
