Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division arrested the teen on Dec. 4 after he was seen getting into a stolen car. When officers approached, he tried to run but was quickly caught.
Investigators later linked him to an October robbery where a victim’s shoes and cell phone were stolen. The teen was also connected to a car theft on Nov. 22 at a convenience store on Middletown Road, where a vehicle left running and unattended was stolen.
Police said he also stole another car on Dec. 4 outside a carryout restaurant when it was left running and unattended.
Because of his age, the teen was charged as a juvenile with robbery and theft. He is being held at a juvenile facility.
