Man steals, crashes car with children inside on Northwest Side, Chicago police say

CHICAGO -- Children were inside a car when it was stolen and crashed in Chicago Thursday morning, police said.

A woman was making a newspaper delivery on the city's Northwest Side when she exited her car, a Jeep Liberty, which was still running, in the 5600 block of North Sacramento Avenue. Two girls, 12 and 10 years old, were in the car's backseat. A black sedan, possibly a Dodge Charger, pulled up behind the Jeep and an unknown male offender exited the passenger side. The man got into the running Jeep and fled, with the sedan following. The two children were inside the Jeep at the time.1 killed, 1 critically hurt in Sauganash crash; Chicago police say car lost control, hit tree

The man drove for about 1.5 miles before crashing the Jeep in the in the 6300 block of North McCormick Boulevard near West Devon Avenue and fleeing on foot. Both girls were found safe, and later reunited with their family. They were not hurt. "Like all of you, I am very grateful and relieved that the children are safe," Ald. Andre Vasquez said in a statement."Please help us in reminding neighbors not to leave vehicles unattended while the engine is running, even during the winter months."

That's not a 'car jacking'. They left the vehicle running, unlocked, with their kids in it, and walked away.

Def a jeep patriot but yea these carjackings are a keloid that keeps ripping daily.
