CHICAGO — A man who allegedly committed four carjackings on the same day has been charged after being arrested in an Atlanta suburb, police said.
Carnell King, 19, of South Shore, has been charged with four felony counts of vehicular hijacking with a firearm, police said Monday.
King was found earlier this month in suburban Atlanta after an alleged crime spree Jan. 10 that included four carjackings across the city.
The carjackings began when King robbed a motorist at gunpoint at 6:55 a.m. Jan. 10 in the 13500 block of South Brandon Avenue in Hegewisch, police said. King then robbed another driver at 1:28 p.m. that day in the 3700 block of West 16th Street in North Lawndale, police said.
King then attempted to rob another driver in the parking garage at the South Loop Target store at Clark Street and Roosevelt Road, but was foiled when that driver "disabled his keys," police said. King then carjacked another victim in the garage and fled.
Police and U.S. marshals found King in Decatur, Ga., earlier this month.
