“The allegations against these two juveniles are outrageous,” said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin. “Not only did these two juveniles allegedly hijack a man’s car at gunpoint, they proceeded to lead the police on a high-speed chase at speeds nearing 140 mph, then abandoned the car and fled on foot in a crowded park while armed with a deadly weapon.'
The juveniles, 16 and 17, have been charged with one count of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, one count of armed robbery with a firearm, two counts of aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle and one count of aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.
The victim reported that he was standing outside his car, a 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, when two suspects wearing dark masks approached him. At this time, the other offender reached into the victim's pocket and attempted to get keys to the vehicle.The juveniles allegedly got into the victim's vehicle and drove away.
