Last night around 7:33PM, officers from District D-4 (South End) responded to 551 Massachusetts Ave. in the south End to investigate a person.
On arrival, officers were met by the victim who reported that his neighbor, accompanied by a black male, had just robbed him at gunpoint. The victim stated that he was opening his apartment door when his neighbor put a gun to his side and forced his way into his apartment along with a companion. Per victim, his neighbor and companion barged into his companion while yelling and waving a gun and stole a number of the victim’s personal property and fled the apartment. The victim provided officers with a description of the car that the suspects fled in, and a description of his neighbor’s companion.
About two hours later round 9:53PM, officers on patrol in the area of Shawmut Ave. observed a car matching the suspect car description given by the victim. Officers followed the car and conducted a traffic stop in front of 655 Mass. Avenue.

The occupants were removed from the car, and shortly thereafter officers saw a number of electronic items in the car consistent with the description of the items stolen from the victim’s house. During further search of the suspects’ car, officers also recovered a loaded firearm.
