Boston police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying the suspects allegedly involved in a violent Nov. 4 armed robbery in which the victim was run over by a car. Around 10:44 p.m., the two suspects allegedly robbed the victim of his gold chains near 100 Washington St. in Dorchester, police say. At least one assailant was carrying a knife, police said. The victim was repeatedly punched and kicked and run over by a small red Chevrolet vehicle, for which the license plate number is unknown, police say.
Karen Read attorney Alan Jackson is back on the warpath in his quest to "pull back the curtain" on policing in Massachusetts, and this time Boston's top cop is in the hot seat.

Around 12:40 a.m. on Sept. 28, police received a report of an aggravated assault in progress outside of Loretta's Last Call on Lansdowne Street.

Emergency personnel observed the victim, Jack Farrell, 22, laying on the ground unresponsive with a significant amount of blood coming out of his nose and mouth, police say.
Crime The suspect was wearing a Celtics jersey and a Bruins hat at the time of the alleged theft. An alleged thief dressed seemingly head-to-toe in Boston gear is being sought in connection with stolen Amazon packages in Charlestown. The suspect is a white male in his 20s and was wearing a white Celtics jersey over a white t-shirt and a Bruins hat, Boston police say.
The facts here outline an incredibly audacious scheme to purchase real jewelry—and hugely expensive jewelry at that—with phony money, which eventually came undone through thorough, tenacious work by Boston police detectives.
