BUCKTOWN — A couple who stopped at a stop sign early Saturday in Bucktown lost their Honda Civic and personal belongings in an armed carjacking, police said.

Around 3:53 a.m. Saturday, a 29-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were driving north in the 2300 block of North Oakley Avenue and traveling behind "an older model white sedan," according to Officer Nicole Trainor, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.

After the couple, traveling in a 2017 black Honda Civic, stopped at a stop sign behind the sedan, two men got out of the sedan and approached them, Trainor said.

The men — both armed with guns — told the couple to get out of the Honda and give up their personal belongings. The victims gave up the car and their wallets.

The carjackers drove off east on Fullerton Avenue, taking the Honda and the white sedan.
