Car Stolen At Gunpoint In Oak Forest Driveway: Cops

OAK FOREST, IL — Two men are accused of an armed carjacking Tuesday afternoon, stealing the vehicle while the victim sat parked in an Oak Forest driveway, police said Wednesday.

At around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the men approached the victim who was sitting inside the car in the 15500 block of Arroyo Drive, Oak Forest Police Chief Tim Kristin told Patch. One of the men — who was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt at the time — reportedly pointed a handgun in the victim's face, threatened bodily harm and demanded the person's personal property, Kristin said.

The victim told police the second man also was holding a handgun. Police said the victim and the carjackers exchanged more words before the men fled the scene in the stolen vehicle.

The suspects were described only as two black men.
