Boy, 13, carjacked vehicle with children inside, Chicago police say

CHICAGO — A 13-year-old boy is accused of jumping into a car with two young children inside during a West Side carjacking that ended when he crashed moments later on Wednesday evening.

No one was injured during the carjacking, which happened about 5:30 p.m. in the 700 block of North Spaulding Avenue in the city’s East Garfield Park neighborhood.

The boy, who was not being named because he is a juvenile, was charged with aggravated vehicular hijacking and aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, Chicago police said.
