A surge in carjackings in the Chicago area was the subject of a U.S. Senate hearing, with Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart among those testifying.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin is leading the hearing, featuring testimony from Sheriff Dart, National Insurance Crime Bureau President David Glawe, who is based in Des Plaines, and Vaughn Bryant who is the director of Chicago's Metropolitan Family Services.
Senator Durbin has written to both the FBI and DOJ calling for better data collection that can help form enforcement strategies. Dart said time is of essence with these sort of crimes and the key to solving them is recovering the cars quickly.
