Yesterday, a group of car thieves found their criminal plot put on stop by the Boston Police. The suspects, allegedly attempting to steal the vehicles left unattended were in cuffs after a gunfire investigation led police straight to them, as reported by the the Boston Police Department.
It happened around 5:08 AM with reports of shots fired on River Street in the heart of Hyde Park. Although officers uncovered no evidence, with no victims to be found. The chase, however, quickly turned as officers, were tipped off about a band of would-be auto thieves caught in the act.
The suspects — identified as Jay Moses and Diamond Carter, both 27 from Dorchester and Boston, respectively, alongside 24-year-olds Justin Creech from West Roxbury and Thomas Perkins from Hyde Park — were accused of trying to jack multiple vehicles.
Detectives arrived at Beaver and Cleveland Streets where they were met with descriptions of the suspects. The information was swiftly relayed, and the sharp eyes of officers at the shooting scene spotted the foursome who matched the broadcasted profiles perfectly, eventually stopping all four suspects, and confirming their catch.
Moses, Carter, Creech, and Perkins charged with attempted larceny of a motor vehicle and the breaking and entering of a motor vehicle. The trial is set to begin at West Roxbury District Court arraignment.
Concerned citizens and silent witnesses are encouraged to come forward, with the assurance that their identities will be shielded, by contacting the District E-18 Detectives at (617) 343-5607 or through the CrimeStoppers Tip Line.
