Philadelphia carjackings in 2022 soars past previous record of 847 thefts in 2021
Carjackings in Philadelphia have spiked in recent years and on Tuesday vehicle thefts in the City of Brotherly Love reached over 1,000 carjackings that have been reported this year alone, reaching an all-time high.
“Philadelphia goes over 1,000 carjackings for first time ever,” Fox 29 Philadelphia reported Wednesday. “1,005 total carjackings at end of day September 27th.”
Fox 29’s Steve Keeley reporter said that the city’s number of carjacking had surpassed the previous record of 847 thefts in 2021, which had doubled from 410 carjackings in 2020.
2019 reportedly saw 225 vehicle thefts.
It is unclear why carjackings have so drastically shot up over the last two years and in January Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw warned the phenomenon was “not normal.”
“What’s happening here is not normal and I don’t want anyone for any minute to begin to normalize this,” Outlaw said.
