The teens then ran back out into the parking lot and drove off.
Lt. Randy Gonzalez with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office calls the crime bizarre.
" This is my first time ever experiencing something like this happening in my years of law enforcement," Gonzalez said.
Deputies arrested 17-year-old Kharron Green of Macon on adult charges of criminal damage to property, inciting a riot, and criminal street gang activity.

The sheriff's office says Green told an employee in the parking lot they were trying to "do as much damage as possible", but denied being involved in the vandalism.
Investigators told WGXA they caught Green, because he left his cell phone in the store and returned to the scene to get it.
Green is charged as an adult with enticing a riot, second-degree criminal damage to property and street gang activity after one of the store cameras shows him throwing up a gang sign.
If you know who any of the other teens in the video could be, call the Bibb County Sheriff's Office or Crimestoppers at 1-877-68-CRIME.
