A second suspect involved in the incident fled from police and remains outstanding.

GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. — A 17-year-old is facing felony charges for attempting to break into a car in a Glynn County subdivision early Sunday morning, according to police.

Around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, the Glynn County Police Department said a resident of the Tanglewood subdivision called 911, saying two people had attempted to break into their vehicle, which was parked in the driveway.

Officers responded to the scene and found two people in the area who proceeded to flee from police on foot. Officers were able to apprehend one of the suspects, a 17-year-old boy, who police say was wearing a ski mask and was carrying a handgun.

First Coast News is not identifying the suspect due to his age.

The second suspect was not located by officers, who employed drones and a bloodhound to assist in search efforts.

The teen who was arrested faces multiple charges, including four counts of entering an automobile with the intent to commit a theft or felony, one count of criminal attempt to enter an automobile, one count of possession of a handgun by a person under 18, among others.

The investigation remains ongoing.
