According to police, the victim was driving her silver 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith when Robinson, in a dark SUV, blocked her path. Authorities say he stole the luxury vehicle at gunpoint.
Officers from the department’s carjacking task force followed the suspect until he was arrested.
According to WGN-TV, using court documents, Robinson took a video of himself following the snatched Rolls-Royce on the day of the carjacking.
Authorities also revealed that they found a letter on his phone containing the victim’s home address.
Robinson was on parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections, having served an 18-month sentence for aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon.
According to Alderman Matthew O’Shea (19th Ward), the elderly woman was unharmed throughout 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.
