3 Women, 2 Men Carjack Evanston Man As He Delivers Pizzas: Police

EVANSTON, IL — A group of five people carjacked a delivery driver Sunday night in southeast Evanston, according to police. The robbers fled officers who caught up to the stolen car, which was later found abandoned. No one has been arrested in connection with the incident.

A 46-year-old Evanston man told police he had arrived in the 400 block of Main Street shortly before 11:15 p.m. to deliver a pizza. As he tried to complete the delivery, he encountered a group of two men and three women, according to police.

The five robbers first told the driver that they had ordered the pizza before demanding he hand over his car keys. One of the two men was armed with a stun gun, police said.

The driver first refused to turn over the keys to his black 2011 Subaru Impreza, he told police. The man without the stun-gun punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground before the group got into his car and fled the scene.

Police said all five of the carjackers were described as between the ages of 20 and 25 and black. One of the men described as 6-feet, 2-inches and 180 to 200 pounds with hair that appears to stick up. He was wearing a red shirt and jeans. The other man was wearing a sweatshirt and described as 6-feet-tall and 180 pounds.

One of the women was described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 200 pounds with straight black hair. The other was said to be 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 150 pounds with braided, partly blond hair and wearing a red shirt. There was no detailed description of the third woman.

Police asked anyone with information about the vehicular hijacking to contact detectives from the Evanston Police Department at 847-866-5040 or text a tip to 274637 — "CRIMES" — and start your message with "EPDTIP."
