Lake County sheriff’s detectives trying to locate the car Thursday after the child’s mother had been carjacked, and then run over with her own vehicle, were told by Volkswagen’s Car-Net service that the company would not provide the car’s location until Car-Net was paid a $150 fee to reactivate the service, sheriff’s office Deputy Chief Chris Covelli said.

“Unfortunately, in this instance, there was a serious breach of the process,” he said. “We are addressing the situation with the parties involved.”The sheriff’s office said the victim, 34, and her two children had arrived at her residence in the 16000 block of Illinois Route 137 near Libertyville around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. She brought one of her children into her house, and then returned for her 2-year-old son.
The man drove off in the Atlas, running over the woman in the process. Although she suffered broken extremities, she was able to call 911, authorities said, and relay information about the stolen vehicle. The delay — “16 minutes of hell,” Covelli said — rendered the company’s information “worthless” in finding the child.
