Two men were arrested and charged with multiple felonies after attempting to carjack a white Audi at 1436 N Astor and committing other armed robberies in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood on Tuesday evening. The suspects, one of whom is on parole and the other just off parole, were unsuccessful in their carjacking attempt outside Governor JB Pritzker's mansion when they could not operate the vehicle's manual transmission. They managed to take the victim's wallet and phone but were ultimately taken into custody, having succeeded in only one of three carjacking attempts.
