Armed thugs hijacked a luxury car at gunpoint in Roxbury last week and Boston Police detectives are now on the hunt for the suspects. The Boston Police Department (BPD) released a community alert asking for help in identifying the suspects involved in the armed robbery that took place on the evening of February 22.
The crime occurred in the vicinity of Cedar St and Columbus Ave, where the perpetrators robbed the victim not only of their personal belongings but also of a Silver E-Class Mercedes Benz they had borrowed from a friend, according to the Boston Police report. The heist took place around 7:30 PM, just as the area's nightlife was starting to buzz.
The Boston Police Department has taken to the streets and the internet in their efforts, canvassing the town with images of the individuals linked to the robbery. They are pressing the public to come forward with any scrap of knowledge that could lead to the capture of these culprits. In their statement, the Boston Police Department is actively investigating the crime and encourages anyone with information to call District B-2 Detectives at (617) 343-4275.
