Brazen carjacking in carwash line

CHICAGO — Armed carjackers approached a car in line.

CHICAGO — According to www.wgntv.com, video surveillance shows a brazen, armed carjacking at a West Loop carwash on the afternoon of Feb. 28th.

Shortly after noon, police responded to reports of an armed carjacking at a carwash in the 400 black of North Halsted.

As seen in the video, a 30-year-old man and woman were waiting in line for a carwash when two men wearing all black approached both windows, brandishing guns at them.

The pair exited the vehicle and appear to be robbed before running away.

No injuries were reported.
