Spate of Carjackings Plague Chicago as Armed Gangs Target Drivers
Surveillance footage captured the terrifying moment when a driver in Chicago was carjacked by a gang of armed men who trapped him between two cars and tied him up at gunpoint. The incident occurred in the crime-plagued city, where motor vehicle theft has skyrocketed by 90% in just one year. The Chicago Police did not receive any reports about the attack, which is part of a spate of crime in the city. The rise in crime has been a concern since the current mayor, Brandon Johnson, took office, with an 86% increase in motor vehicle thefts and a 19% rise in murder rates over the past four years.
