13-Year-Old Arrested for Firearm Offenses in Dorchester
**Boston, MA** – On Tuesday at 1:38 PM, law enforcement officials from District C-11 (Dorchester) apprehended a 13-year-old male on firearm-related charges following a call about an individual with a gun at 197 Centre Street.
The report originated from the Neighborhood Charter School on Centre Street, where students had seen a gun in a vehicle with two juveniles. Officers were given descriptions of both the suspects and the vehicle, which was determined to be stolen.
Upon arriving at Cheverus Street, officers located the vehicle and noted one juvenile exiting and one remaining. The juveniles’ behavior led officers to call for additional units, resulting in their subsequent detention. As officers attempted to secure the juvenile in the driver’s seat, he fled the scene.
Following a pursuit, the juvenile was cornered and seen discarding an item over a fence. Officers later found a silver and black Smith and Wesson SD40VE firearm with ten rounds. The stolen vehicle was removed, and the juvenile faces charges including firearm possession and trespassing, with an expected court appearance at Dorchester District Court.
