COLUMBUS, Ohio — A teenage boy was arrested after police said he drove a stolen vehicle into a business in the Franklinton neighborhood Wednesday night.

The teen drove the Hyundai through the front of Techcraze, located at 1477 West Broad Street. Albert said there was significant damage to the building. 

Surveillance video from the store shows the teen driving up to the store in the Hyundai. 

He is seen getting out of the vehicle and appeared to be messing with the front door of the tech store. 

The teen goes back in the vehicle and drives over the curb to hit the building. He is seen doing this multiple times until there is significant damage to the front of the store.
