The Boston Police Department is on the hunt for a suspect they say swiped credit cards and then went on a spending spree. The theft took place in the South End's 36 Travelers St on January 12, 2024. After pilfering the plastic, the suspect allegedly took the illicit shopping tour to Cambridge, according to an alert issued by the BPD.
The boys in blue at District D-4 are heading the investigation and now, they're turning to the public eye for some backup. They're calling on anyone with the skinny to dial them directly at (617) 343-5619, dropping the lead that could crack the case wide open. Tips have a way of losing their way, and for those who've got the goods but wanna keep their name out of it, there's another way to spill – the CrimeStoppers Tip Line is rigged and ready at 1 (800) 494-TIPS, and the text savvy can shoot a message with 'TIP' to CRIME (27463).
This isn't just some trivial pursuit, it's serious business when a person's hard-earned cash is on the line through no fault of their own. The folks over at Boston PD assure all anonymous tipsters that their identity will stay under wraps. Putting the kibosh on fraud is high on their list, and getting the community involved is part and parcel of their plan.
