A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after an alleged carjacking in September, police say.

Earlier, someone stopped their car in a parking lot where two women — described by police as “suspects” — got in for a pre-arranged meeting, according to officers.

The person drove the two women to “another location,” where all three people got out.
