A 17-year-old boy is facing charges after allegedly carjacking a woman Wednesday in South Deering.

The teen boy was arrested after he was identified as the person who carjacked and took personal items from a 32-year-old woman by force about 4 p.m. in the 10200 block of South Calhoun Avenue, Chicago police said.

Officers arrested the boy in South Chicago, about an hour and a half after the carjacking happened, police said.

The teen was charged with one felony count each of aggravated vehicular hijacking and aggravated robbery, according to police. He was also charged with a misdemeanor for theft and was cited for possession of a replica firearm.

He was expected back in juvenile court Thursday.
