A man found guilty of carjacking a Rolls-Royce from an elderly woman in Chicago will not be enjoying luxury travel for the foreseeable future, as he has been sentenced to 10 years behind bars.

Trevon Robinson, aged 19 and hailing from Chicago, admitted to a felony charge of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, linked to the carjacking incident that occurred in June 2024.

According to police reports, the 83-year-old victim was sitting in her silver 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith when Robinson used a dark SUV to block her path. He then proceeded to steal the vehicle while armed.

The city’s carjacking task force tracked Robinson’s movements and successfully apprehended him shortly after the crime.

According to WGN-TV, citing court documents, Robinson recorded a video of himself following the hijacked Rolls-Royce on the day of the carjacking.

Authorities also revealed that they recovered a note from his phone with the victim’s home address.

According to Ald. Matthew O’Shea (19th Ward), the elderly woman was not harmed in the carjacking.

“I would like to thank the Chicago Police Department and Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office for their work in getting this habitual gun offender off the street,” O’Shea said in a statement to the local outlet.
