In each case, two to four people jump out of a car, flash guns, and demand the victims' money and car keys.
A 70-year-old woman who was one of latest victims of an organized carjacking ring spoke to CBS 2's Marissa Perlman, and wants others to be aware.
Around 11:20 a.m. Wednesday, she was walking her dog in the 1300 block of West Webster Avenue, when an armed robber stormed up. DeJacimo said the robber left her cash and wallet, but took her car keys. She believes the robber and his accomplices had been watching her. DeJacimo is not alone. According to a Chicago Police Department community alert, the same group of carjackers also robbed two other people on Saturday and Tuesday in Pilsen and West Town. In at least one case, one of the carjackers took off in the victim's car while the others drove off in a separate vehicle.
