Reginald Parker and Christopher Harris are charged with theft, attempted theft, and criminal mischief, all misdemeanors.
A third suspect, Ab Robinson-Hunn is also facing two felony theft charges because he has a prior conviction for theft.
Court records show Robinson-Hunn was also charged in 2014 with carrying a handgun without a license, and was sentenced to drug court, a diversion program which he completed in 2014.
All three men were arrested and bonded out of the Marion County jail, but Reginald Parker failed to appear in court Wednesday and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Harris and Robinson-Hunn are due back in court October 5.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, a detective witnessed the men looking into and breaking car windows in the Castleton area, including parking lots for Le Peep, Los Cabos, Hooters, Red Lobster, Beauty 4 U and Goodwill.

The men stole belongings from the vehicles including purses and backpacks, according to the probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday.
Police arrested the men Friday night after a pursuit which ended with the suspects crashing their car into a ditch on Allisonville Road.
The driver was not located.
Jennifer Havens of Brownsburg is glad the men were charged for breaking into her car.
Her window cost $150 to get replaced, but thankfully, nothing was taken from her car.
“I’m a single mom, and I work very hard for what I have,” said Havens. “I’m floored that somebody’s going to go around and disrespect people’s property like that.”
Two handguns were also recovered during the arrests.
