Brown said 60 percent of the people arrested for carjackings are juveniles and some have stolen cars four, five, or even six times. Brown points to the case of an 11-year-old whom he described as a prolific carjacker, responsible for traumatizing a Mt.

He's being a kid," the woman said in January."I don't actually think he knew what he was doing, or getting involved with.
Brown said the CPD had found the child who was part of the Mount Greenwood carjacking had been out of school for two years. Brown said the boy's mom had recently died, and his dad was sick.
