A man who carjacked a Rolls-Royce from an 83-year-old woman in Chicago while on probation won’t be riding in luxury anytime soon after being sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Trevon Robinson, 19, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to a felony count of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm in connection with the June 2024 carjacking.
Police said that the victim was in her silver 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith when Robinson, driving a dark-colored SUV, blocked her path. Authorities say he stole the luxury vehicle at gunpoint.
Officers with the department’s carjacking task force followed the suspect until they arrested him.
