Teens Carjack Man in East Charlotte

Last night, two teenage boys carjacked a man on Milton Road. The teens stole the man's Hyundai Elantra and took off. Thankfully, the victim was not hurt and called police.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police searched for the stolen car and carjackers. An hour later, police spotted the car and followed it. The teens led police on a brief pursuit until the suspects jumped and ran from the car on Eaves Lane.

Police searched the area for the suspects. A neighbor saw the teens hiding in his neighbors boat near Ruth Drive and Dolphin Lane and called police. CMPD officers located the teens and arrested them. Police are unable to provide additional information since the subjects are juveniles. Source: WSOC-TV
