Tulimieri, 46, of Boston and William Brock, 35, of Dorchester and charged them with Larceny from a Motor Vehicle, and Receiving Stolen Property.
Plain-clothes officers were working in the Tremont St. area when they first observed the three suspects.

Officers observed the suspects exchange two-way radios, procure a two wheeler, and start “casing” several delivery trucks. Officers followed the suspects and stopped them after they entered a delivery truck and stole a number of items. Suspects were all apprehended when they stopped a cab and tried to make good their escape. The stolen items were recovered and returned to the unknowing delivery driver.
