By Wakisha Bailey, CBS Philadelphia December 27, 2021 Police are investigating two carjackings in Philadelphia overnight on Monday, including one where a child was in the backseat. The child is a 1-year-old and luckily, she was reunited with her mother, but as we've seen in the past some of these carjackings have had worse endings. Police tell Eyewitness News that carjackings are becoming a growing trend in Philadelphia. Police reported 220 carjackings in 2019 then that number jumped to 341 last year. In 2021, there have been more than 700 carjackings — that's more than doubled.
