In just the first 21 days of the new year, there have been roughly 150 carjackings in Chicago.
Four more carjackings were reported within four hours across the city overnight.
Between 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Thursday, in Garfield Ridge, Bucktown, North Kenwood, and South Austin residents were the victims of carjackings.
