COLORADO SPRINGS – An 18-year-old is in jail after a carjacking and police chase in Colorado Springs Thursday night.

Officers were called to the 1200 block of Potter Dr. concerning a possible carjacking. Police say two men approached a woman with a weapon, demanded her purse and keys and drove away in her car.

A short time later, police saw the car on S.
