2 Teenage Carjacking Suspects Arrested In Englewood After Wild Police Chase

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two teenage carjacking suspects were arrested in Englewood overnight Monday into Tuesday following a wild police chase.

Police said at midnight Tuesday morning, the two juvenile offenders were spotted traveling in what police said was a white BMW that had been taken in a carjacking.

They were pursued by Illinois State Police, and ended up rear-ending a marked Chicago Police squad car in the 4800 block of South Wells Street in Fuller Park. The officers were not injured.

The suspects made it to the 6700 block of South Union Avenue in Englewood and bailed from the car. They were arrested after a brief foot chase.

While police said a BMW was carjacked, video at the scene showed a white Mercedes-Benz.

One of the suspects, a 14-year-old boy, has now been charged with receiving or possessing a stolen vehicle and leaving the scene of a crime. Police said he was involved in a carjacking that targeted a 55-year-old woman on Sept. 28 in the 3100 block of South Giles Avenue in Bronzeville.
