The Boston Police Department is reaching out to the community, urging individuals to come forward with any information that could lead to the identification of two suspects involved in an armed robbery in Roxbury. As reported by the Boston Police Department, the robbery took place at the Cristian Convenience Store, 411 Blue Hill Avenue, around 10:52 p.m. on the night of June 26.
The department released surveillance images showing two unidentified males who reportedly entered the store, one brandishing a firearm. The first suspect, a light-skinned Black male with a thin build, donning a black mask and a black bubble jacket, was observed going behind the counter and pointing a firearm at an employee. His accomplice, also described as a light-skinned Black male with thin build, followed him inside, leapt over the counter wearing a black hoodie, and proceeded to empty out the cash register. They reportedly made off with both cash and a victim’s personal belongings, including a wallet and cellphone, before fleeing on foot towards Devon Street.
Authorities are now canvassing the public for assistance. In a statement obtained by the Boston Police Departments official website, the two are described specifically, with the first suspect wearing black pants with tears and white sneakers, and the second sporting black sweatpants paired with white sneakers with red trim. Detectives from District B-2 are actively involved in the investigation following the incident.
