CONCORD, N.C. (WBTV) - Police say a 15-year-old boy has been charged in a violent carjacking where a woman was dragged in a gas station parking lot in Concord on July 25.

The suspect, a 15 year old boy from Charlotte, has been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and further charges may be pending.
