Five teenagers face charges in Delaware after they were found in a vehicle that was stolen at gunpoint in Philadelphia from U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon. State police say Scanlon’s blue Acura MDX was located Wednesday night in Newark, Delaware. That’s about 45 miles from Philadelphia. The FBI charged a 19-year-old man with carjacking, a weapons charge, and aiding and abetting. A 14-year-old girl and three boys, ages 13, 15 and 16, are charged with receiving stolen property. The 15-year-old also is charged with resisting arrest and criminal mischief. Scanlon was unharmed.
