More than 1,800 people were victims of carjackings in Chicago last year, but the crisis is not only in the city.
Suburban Cook County is also dealing with a spike in thefts and carjackings.So we wanted to know – are certain cars more likely to be targeted? CBS 2’s Tara Molina looked at the county data for answers.
“As we’ve accumulated more data and as we’ve made more arrests and as we’ve done more interviews, we’re becoming much, much more knowledgeable on what they’re up to, how they’re doing it,” said county Sheriff tom Dart.“It’s Sunday nights and Saturday nights,” he said.“They’re looking for the fastest cars they can get their hands on,” Dart said.
We asked if time of year or weather play a role in the kind of vehicles targeted. Dart said no solid information on that yet – but he says carjackersAs to the method breakdown, most carjackings involve an ambush. A total of 48.43 percent are ambushes on foot, and 21.96 percent are an ambush from another vehicle. Meanwhile, 10.33 percent of carjackings target rideshares, and 6.51 percent are ambushes gas stations.
“They would absolutely look to see if people were on their phones, because if you’re on your phone, you’re not paying attention to anything, and then a person is on you within seconds and all you can do at that point is get out of your car,” Dart said.
