Chicago has seen a 40 percent year-to-date increase in crime complaints through Nov. 6 compared to the same period last year, according to Fox News.
According to WMAO, Chicago had 942 vehicular hijackings in 2022 through late July, which averaged to more than four per day.
Through late July, only 57 arrests in those cases had taken place.
3145 cars were stolen in Chicago -10 in one block- in October. The most ever. This doens’t include carjackings or catalytic converter thefts.
CPD’s response — “We are not going to comment at this time as it would be speculation.”

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart last month unveiled a new program to address carjackings and car thefts, according to Axios.
The program allows owners of cars from the 2014 model year onward to register their vehicles with the Sheriff’s Office. Participants in the program get stickers that can mount on their car, which informs potential thieves that the vehicle could be tracked.
The program comes as Chicago has more than 15,000 car thefts recorded in 2022, with about 3,000 alone in October, according to CBS.

“When we had people in custody for carjacking, we’ve done interviews with them. Things that don’t in any way compromise their criminal case. We just ask them,” Dart said, according to CBS.
“When cars are being tracked does that discourage you, and it was quite unanimous what the opinion was that [they]’ll just go to another car.”
