Two teens were arrested Monday night after a carjacking on Cherokee Street near St. Charles Avenue, police said. A woman was sitting in her vehicle in the 600 block of Cherokee about 9:30 p.m. Monday when she was approached by a pair of teenagers, one of whom pulled out a gun and demanded the vehicle, according to the NOPD Second District. The woman got out, and the pair got into the car and took off, police said. The vehicle was noticed shortly afterward by officers in the First District (which covers the area from Treme to Mid-City), and the two teens inside were identified by the victim as her attackers, police said.
