Brighton residents are on alert as Boston Police District D-14 detectives are turning to the public for help in nabbing a burglar with a taste for fast food and sports gear. The suspect hit an address on Murdock Street in Brighton, filching a set of Allston/Brighton Youth hockey jerseys, collectively worth about $330, as reported by the Boston Police Department's official website.
Surveillance footage prominently captured the suspect’s comings and goings. He accessed the residence's enclosed porch twice: first at 12:12 AM with Dunkin Donuts in hand, in the quiet, wood-lined suburb of Boston, and later, around 1:04 AM, with McDonald’s. He then slipped away with the stolen merchandise, possibly satisfied with his hunger, cloaked in Boston’s night, in a Prius-style car. The reported suspect is described as a Hispanic or Middle Eastern male, estimated to be middle-aged, approximately 5’06” to 5’09” in height, and weighing around 180 to 220 pounds, according to the Boston Police website.
Marked by his attire, the suspect was last seen wearing a streaked baseball hat, a gold chain dangling from his neck, a sun-faded Patriots tee, dark shorts, and Nikes marked with the brand's iconic swoosh, as indicated by the authorities. With the BPD diligently sifting through the evidence, citizens holding any information that might help identify this alleged thief are encouraged to dial (617) 343-4256 to reach District D-14 Detectives directly.
