PEORIA Ill. – Charges have been filed in correlation to a car-jacking that happened last Friday night in Northwest Peoria…
A local 14-year-old and 15-year-old have been charged with Aggravated Vehicular Hijacking — as police say they stole a vehicle at gunpoint — at around 10:20pm Friday night — and were involved in a car-chase with authorities that reached speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
The chase ended with a crash at the I-74 Eastbound and War Memorial Drive on-ramp — which leaves the 14-year-old hospitalized — in stable condition — with the 15-year-old currently in custody at the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center.
The Illinois State Attorney’s Office is filing a petition to transfer both cases, to adult court.
The investigation is still ongoing.
