The Chicago Police Department released its monthly statistics for July on Monday, touting more than 800 carjacking arrests so far this year – but that figure appears to conflict with the city’s own crime data.
CPD’s monthly stats said the department and the “Vehicular Hijacking Task Force” have made 808 motor vehicle-related arrests since Jan. 1. That figure was released exactly one week after CPD spokesman Tom Ahern tweeted that 772 carjacking offenders had been arrested since January, later clarifying that those arrests were for vehicular hijackings as well as possession of a stolen motor vehicle or criminal trespass to a vehicle.
For clarification: A total of 772 offenders have been arrested for: Vehicular Hijacking , Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, or Criminal Trespass to a Vehicle.Supt. David Brown on Monday underscored that classification, saying carjacking is “not a legal terminology for the crimes that are occurring,” but rather an umbrella term for those three types of crimes.
