A group of juvenile delinquent car thieves is busy in Cleveland, and have learned to avoid stickshifts, because none of them knew how to drive a manual transmission, so for the rest of Jan 9th, they stole automatic transmission cars, but only from women.

 4 young teens, 2 boys, 2 girls, are the car jackers who use a fake gun hidden in a plastic bag to convince the victims to part with their vehicles

The car owner told police that four juveniles wearing ski masks approached her as she was exiting her vehicle.

“Give me your keys. I don’t want to shoot anybody,” one of the victims told the woman.

The 37-year-old victim said one of the suspects pulled out what appeared to be a handgun, but couldn’t tell for sure because a plastic bag was covering it.

Two suspects got into the car and tried to start it, but they were unsuccessful after about a minute, because it was a stick shift.

According to Cleveland police, all four juveniles fled on foot from the scene.

The victim’s husband, who was in the couple’s residence at the time, followed the juveniles in his car and watched them get on a train at the nearby RTA station near West 65th Street and Lorain Avenue.

Cleveland Police are still searching for the teens who carjacked a pregnant woman outside of a hair salon. It happened in Cleveland close to the Lakewood border on Clifton Boulevard near West 117th Street.

A 35-year-old North Ridgeville mom told police she was leaving the Green Opal Hair Salon Tuesday evening when she was approached by two teens in the parking lot behind the business.

The mom told police the two young men looked to be about 15 years old. She says one of the teens was wearing a neon green ski mask. They held up a black bag and pointed it at her, acting like there was a gun inside and demanded she hand over her keys. The young pregnant woman did not want to take any chances, so she complied

Police were able to track the mom’s car to the Cudell Recreation Center. Once they got there the teens took off in her car. Police followed it to West 95th Street and Denison Avenue. They say four teens, two boys and two girls, jumped out. Police ran after them, but they got away.

  1. I haven't seen anyone wear a ski mask for legitimate reasons since probably back in the '80s. Are they only sold for criminals like these car jackers and the guys that beat up Jussie Smollett?
