Police Release Photos of JP Armed Suspect

Boston Police have released images of an armed suspect who is alleged to have committed two gunpoint robberies in the Eliot Street neighborhood last week.

The photos are taken at a nearby Bank of America ATM where the suspect withdrew money from a card he’d stolen Thursday night – the second of the two incidents.

The Boston Police News blog post says:

District E-13 Detectives are seeking information about the suspect pictured believed to be responsible for two armed robberies in the Eliot Street/Dunster Road area.

The suspect is described as a black non-Hispanic male, about 20 years of age, 5’9”- 6’1”, slim build, wearing a zippered gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, running sneakers with white strings and in possession of a handgun. It is assumed that the suspect is operating an unknown type of motor vehicle based on the time of the robberies, distance and time it took the suspect to get from Jamaica Plain to Mattapan. Suspect likely used the Jamaica Way and Morton Street to get away from the area. The area of the robberies borders the city of Brookline.

The robberies occurred during the evening hours between 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm, on February 27th & 28th.

The suspect robbed an Eliot School teacher Wednesday and another victim Thursday.
