Three individuals were arrested on Tuesday in connection with an armed robbery in Boston's Back Bay. The incident occurred at around 2:01 PM at the corner of Boylston Street and Dartmouth Street. The Boston Police Department is handling the investigation.
The suspects, Marcus Sharpe (19), Robert Johnson (20), and Jayden Depina-Romao (18), were arrested after a robbery alert in the South End. The victim, an Uber Eats delivery driver, was picking up an order when he learned from a friend that his moped was being stolen. When he confronted the suspects, one of them showed a knife and a pink taser. The situation escalated, with one suspect fleeing on the stolen moped. The victim and his friend ran toward the Copley Train Station. Officers from District D-4 responded to the scene and made the arrests, as reported by the Boston Police Department.
According to the Boston Police Department, the suspects followed the victims and at one point aimed a taser at one of them. The suspects were later seen boarding an MBTA bus near the Copley Library. Transit Police were alerted, intercepted the bus, and arrested the individuals. A knife and taser were found on the bus floor. Sharpe faces additional charges for Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, while Depina-Romao had an active arrest warrant. All three men were charged with Armed Robbery and are scheduled to appear in Boston Municipal Court.
