The first was taken shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday from McCarrey Street. It hit a snow bank nine minutes later and the driver fled.
A second car was stolen at 7:41 a.m. on Boniface Parkway and spotted being driven recklessly on East 6th Avenue.
Police blocked the car, and when the driver stopped and fled, officers arrested a suspect.
The 14-year-old is charged with vehicle theft, criminal mischief, driving while intoxicated and resisting an officer.
Police say idling an unattended car is illegal in Anchorage unless it's equipped with an "auto start" or other device that shuts down if a driver attempts to drive without inserting a key.
