Carjacking goes from felony to fad as D.C. teens lack fear of judicial consequences -
Nearly half of the 572 carjacking offenses reported by the Metropolitan Police Department this year have taken place in June and July alone, and statistics show that juveniles make up the bulk of those arrested.
“It has been uttered several times: ‘Oh, I’ll be back out,’ or, ‘I’m not saying nothing,’” MPD’s Sixth District Commander Darnel Robinson told The Washington Times. It’s not just boys who are gravitating toward criminal behavior. A 13-year-old girl was arrested for an unarmed carjacking in Northwest last week after police said she and two other juveniles rear-ended a victim’s car, assaulted the driver and then took their vehicle.
Breaking into a car and hotwiring the ignition has snowballed since into a more dangerous crime of opportunity. Minneapolis has seen a 62% spike in nonviolent auto thefts so far this year, with a small number of juveniles responsible for repeatedly committing the crime. A spokesperson for the OAG pushed back on the D.C. police’s characterization that the prosecutors aren’t holding up their end of the bargain when it comes to handling underage defendants.
