Police: Four juveniles arrested, firearm and stolen car recovered in Roxbury
Four juveniles have been arrested in connection with a stolen vehicle out of Brighton, Boston police say.
The vehicle was originally reported stolen on Friday, May 23, around 7:12 PM in the area of 398 Cambridge Street.
Officers of the Wentworth Institute of Technology Police Department saw on surveillance camera that the vehicle was being driven around Ruggles Street at 5 AM on Saturday.
Shortly after, around 5:24 AM, officers were dispatched to the area of 60 Southern Avenue for a report of a person with a gun. Officers were told that four individuals attempted to rob a victim while displaying a firearm. The suspects fled the scene, and officers were able to broadcast a description of the fleeing vehicle.
Then, an officer saw the vehicle driving on Warren Street towards Dudley Street, which prompted the officer to call for backup to stop the vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the car on Dudley Street, but refused to stop and drove around multiple police cruisers.
The vehicle then fled at a high rate of speed while also failing to stop at a red-light intersection on Malcolm X Boulevard. Officers lost sight of the vehicle and began patrolling the area of Tremont Street and Saint Alphonsus Street, when a supervisor was able to review security cameras and inform officers that the vehicle never left the area.
Officers were able to locate the vehicle around 6 AM in a public open garage underneath 75 Saint Alphonsus Street.
Numerous vape products were secured from the vehicle, and Newton police took custody of the vehicle.
The four suspects were then seen walking in the area of 1600 Tremont Street, which resulted in a foot pursuit. The suspects were taken into custody in the area of Huntington Avenue and Tremont Street.
Officers searched the suspects, two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old, and a 14-year-old, and found multiple stolen vape products and a spent shell casing from the 15-year-old. The stolen keys were found on the 16-year-old.
A firearm, a Palmetto Armory with one round in the chamber and eight rounds in a large capacity magazine, was recovered from the 14-year-old. The firearm was also equipped with a laser sight.
While being booked, the 14-year-old provided officers with a false name, which officers were able to determine the true name of the suspect which revealed he had an active warrant out of Juvenile Court for Firearm related Offenses.

Boston 15-year-old charged in knife assault on MBTA bus driver
A Boston 15-year-old is facing charges in connection with brandishing a knife at an MBTA bus driver in Chelsea Friday night, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said. The teen has been charged with two counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon and five firearms charges in connection with the incident in Chelsea Juvenile Court, the district attorney's office said in a press release. MBTA Transit Police responded to a call reporting that a bus driver had been assaulted in Chelsea shortly before 9:15 p.m. on May 30, the district attorney's office said. The driver told them three minors had gotten on at a bus stop without paying, but that he'd kept driving despite this resulting in an argument. As the minors got off the bus at a later stop, one of them threw a lighter at the driver and missed him, the district attorney's office said. As the driver got up from his seat, the same minor — who was later identified as the 15-year-old — took out a knife and started walking towards him. The driver was not injured during the incident, and all three minors ultimately got off the bus, the district attorney's office said. But the driver soon flagged down a police officer and pointed them towards the minors. The 15-year-old was arrested without incident, but as they were being arrested, one of the other minors offered to take their backpack, the district attorney's office said. Inside, police found a 9mm pistol with a high-capacity magazine and 11 rounds loaded. The driver's account of the assault was corroborated by security video of the incident, the district attorney's office said. 'There are numerous disturbing elements here, all made even more disturbing given the age of the person charged,' Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in the release. The 15-year-old's bail in a pending assault case out of Chelsea Juvenile Court was revoked as a result of the incident, the district attorney's office said. The teen is due back in court on July 7 for a bail hearing.
