State police say 20 year-old Kenneth Gordon and a 16-year-old accomplice were already in custody on other charges.

They're now accused of robbing a woman in a Big Y parking lot on September 11 of last year.

Troopers say the two beat the victim as she loaded groceries in her car.

A bag was placed over the victim's head, after which the suspects put her in the car, and proceeded to use her bank card to steal money, according to investigators.

The victim was later thrown out of the car in Berlin, police said.

The car was found torched behind a building.

Gordon is facing a slew of charges, including kidnapping, robbery, assault, conspiracy, arson and larceny.

Bond was set at $1 million
