The vehicular hijacking occurred around 7:15 p.m., near the intersection of North Lincoln Avenue and North Jersey Avenue. The crime scene is next to the Rio Motel at 6155 North Jersey Avenue.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the crime happened in the motel's parking lot.
Police described the stolen car as a gold or tan 2002 Dodge Durango. The vehicle may be similar to car in the photograph. The license plate on the vehicle is C909172. Authorities have indicated there may be a child in the backseat.
If you spot this vehicle, please contact the police immediately.
Ok, I'm a little confused here. "there may be a child in the backseat"? What, the person who owns the car doesn't know where their child is? Was this a little "quickie" stop and the kid was left in the car sleeping while they were getting some nookie? There either is or isn't a child in the backseat, not "may be".
ReplyDeletetowanda, the victim didn't speak English and the translator didn't make it clear if a baby was in the backseat, or not. The only thing the 911-call-taker told dispatch, is that a baby MIGHT be in the backseat.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to do an investigative report on the accuracy and competency of Chicago's 911 operators. You should hear some of the messages sent to dispatch.
That's just pathetic. Seems if someone calls 911 and doesn't speak english, they would put caller on with someone who speaks the callers language. Just a thought. Do 911 operators even have to have a GED?
