Carjacking cases are on the rise, and are among a notable increase among violent crimes during the pandemic. In some cases, police are arresting teens and children for the crimes. The John Jay Center for Criminal Justice reported the disturbing trend includes underage suspects who are carjacking drivers with the goal of committing another crime moments later.
