Police said the keys were inside the Jeep and the armed suspect got into the vehicle and drove away. As he drove away, the Jeep struck a light pole in the parking lot and crashed as he turned onto the street, police said.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged at the time.
On Wednesday, police arrested another teenager, a 17-year-old boy. He is facing charges of robbery with a firearm and disguising with intent.
He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning.
Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the accused cannot be identified due to his age.
