A Roseland man was ordered held on $75,000 bail Sunday after he allegedly tried to steal a woman’s car from her garage, only to get trapped inside when the woman closed the garage door.

Andre Bacon, 21, of the 11300 block of South Harvard Avenue, faces felony attempted vehicle hijacking and theft charges in connection to the botched carjacking Saturday in the Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side, according to court records.

Bacon entered the victim’s garage Saturday in the 3300 block of North Long Avenue, according to court documents, and demanded that the victim hand over the 2012 Honda MDX’s keys.

The victim surrendered the keys and then fled the garage, closing the door behind her and calling the police, court records state.

Police arrived and opened the garage door to find Bacon sitting in the driver’s seat with the keys in the ignition, according to records.

Bacon was taken into custody at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, according to court records.
