The mayor’s office announced the launch of a pilot program to take on carjackings and car thefts — certain juveniles who steal cars would get home detention with an ankle monitor.

CLEVELAND — A woman told News 5 Thursday she was one of three carjacking cases in one night this week.

The pilot program is a collaboration with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s office, Juvenile Court and Cleveland Police.They go through a review to see if they’re eligible for home monitoring. Teens in carjackings are considered for juvenile detention while their case is pending.When teens are arrested in stolen car cases, they’re brought to Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court right away and given ankle monitors.

It’s also to reduce the time officers spend on teen arrests so they can return to work on other safety issues.
