CHICAGO (CBS) — The carjacking crisis in Chicago is getting worse.
Police said there have been 352 carjackings in the city so far this year, and only 62 arrests. Authorities say a 14-year-old girl was behind at least four of the carjackings.
The 14-year-old girl, whom we are not identifying because of her age, appeared in court Wednesday with her family. She is facing four felony charges accusing her of involvement carjackings.
One of the victims was Uber driver Carolyn Andrews – who still can’t get back in the driver’s seat without thinking about it.
“One jumped behind me so fast that my head was like this,” Andrews said. “When I got back in the car, it’s like, I could just feel her hands around my neck.”
She said she picked up two young girls one night while driving for Uber – only to end up in a chokehold…
“It hurts,” Andrews said.
She had blood pouring from her nose.
“I did have to go to the hospital,” Andrews said.
Andrews relies on oxygen and a special heart monitor 24/7. She said she had the beg the girls to give her medical items to her before stranding her on the West Side.
