State’s attorney launches community-focused carjacking task force in Prince George’s

The Prince George’s County state’s attorney’s office has launched a carjacking task force that will work with local lawmakers, school personnel and community organizations on prevention and public awareness of the rising crime — especially among the region’s young people. Carjacking crimes have spiked over the past year and a half locally and nationally, as the pandemic brought economic hardship upon many Americans and virtual learning left children and teenagers with more free time.
