Shopkeeper rescues abducted toddler after carjacker runs over his mom during Libertyville-area carjacking
Police are looking for a man driving a stolen white BMW who carjacked a woman and ran her over before abducting her 2-year-old who nearly wandered into a busy street after being abandoned Thursday afternoon near Libertyville, officials said.
The 34-year-old woman had just returned home in the 16000 block of Route 137 in unincorporated Lake County and she pulled into her driveway and brought one of her children inside about 3:35 p.m., according to a statement from the Lake County sheriff’s office.As she came back out to the SUV to retrieve her other child, a 2-year-old boy, a white, 2000s model BMW with a black bumper and a loud exhaust pulled up behind her 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.
An attacker, who was tall, thin, wearing a gray zip-up hooded sweatshirt, and a light green face mask, exited the passenger side of the BMW and struggled with her, getting behind the wheel of the victim’s Volkswagen as she tried to keep her son safe, the statement said.The attacker then “battered” the woman, knocking her to the ground — and ran her over with her SUV — with the child still inside — as he and the driver of the BMW fled.
The victim was able to dial 911 and sheriff’s deputies immediately responded and searched the area for her Atlas.Chicago Tribune editors' top story picks, delivered to your inbox each afternoon.
