Data Show More Than 100 Carjackings In Austin Community This Year
Some neighborhoods have 20 times as many carjackings as those just blocks away.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Police this week issued two new community alerts related to carjackings in the city’s West Town community this week. Auburn Gresham has seen 35 carjackings this year. Wicker Park has gotten a lot of attention for carjackings this year. They have had 27.
But the Austin community has seen far and away the greatest number of carjackings this year so far with 106. Just one neighborhood to the north and east in Hermosa, there have been just five carjackings this year. That is a 20-fold difference within a distance of just a few blocks.
