10-year-old boy among armed carjackers in St. Louis who led police on chase

ST. LOUIS _ A 10-year-old boy was among the carjackers who robbed a woman at gunpoint in the Soulard neighborhood, then led police on a brief car chase, authorities said Friday.

The child was with a 15-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys who were taken into custody Thursday. They were turned over to juvenile authorities.

St. Louis police Sgt. Keith Barrett said the 10-year-old is the youngest carjacking suspect in the city in recent years. Police said last year a 13-year-old boy took a woman's car in the Benton Park West neighborhood.
