Scooter enforcement operation leads to arrest in Boston

Boston, MA Officers from several districts conducted a scooter and moped enforcement operation due to public safety concerns. The operation involved Districts B-2, C-6, D-4, and the Neighborhood Engagement Safety Team.

Two arrested following armed robbery incident in Boston

Boston, MA An officer assigned to District D-4 responded to a well-being check at 696 Massachusetts Avenue when a bystander reported an armed robbery at 1813 Washington Street on Thursday around 4:40 PM. The victim, who appeared injured, reported being assaulted and robbed inside a grocery store by two suspects.

One suspect allegedly punched the victim in the head and took cash from him, while the second struck him with a bottle. The first suspect threatened the victim with a small black object that may have been a firearm before the victim escaped and sought police help.

Officers broadcast descriptions of the suspects, leading to the observation of two individuals matching those descriptions near Massachusetts Avenue and Washington Street. Both suspects fled on foot in different directions but were quickly apprehended—one near Shawmut Avenue and Pelham Street and the other close to Tremont Street and Upton Street.

Detectives who later arrived positively identified both suspects on site. They were identified as 42-year-old Jahar Pinkett of Dorchester and 29-year-old Anthony Crumbley of Boston.

A search of Pinkett yielded cash that matched the amount reported stolen, along with a plastic bag containing a rock-like substance believed to be crystal methamphetamine. No firearm was recovered during the investigation.

Both suspects were transported for booking. Pinkett had an active warrant out of Boston Municipal Court for a violation of an Abuse Prevention Order.

Pinkett will face charges including armed robbery, assault and battery, and possession of a Class B substance. Crumbley will face charges for armed robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Both individuals are expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
