PHILADELPHIA - United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced Wednesday that two Philadelphia men are facing charges related to multiple carjackings across Philadelphia and Delaware counties.
In early April, U.S. Attorney Williams announced that a federal grand jury formally charged the suspects. Authorities say Tarik Chambers, 20, and Nikeem Leach-Hilton, 22, were charged by indictment with conspiracy, three counts of carjacking, three counts of carrying a firearm, and other related charges.
The indictment alleges that on December 19, 2021, the suspects carjacked two victims at gunpoint in the Lawncrest section of the city.
According to the indictment, the defendant also carjacked two more victims at gunpoint in Germantown, 20 minutes later.
