On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, officers assigned to District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested a 17-Year-Old Juvenile Male, on multiple firearm offenses.
At about 8:07 PM, officers were patrolling the area of Woodmere Avene when they observed a group of four males walking in the area. One of the individuals was walking with his right arm pinned to his body, and began to manipulate an unknown object in his waistband area.
At this time, officers exited their cruiser to investigate further. Officers approached the group and immediately approached one of the individuals as they feared he was armed with a weapon. A pat frisk was conducted, and officers observed the handle of a firearm sticking out of the front of his waistband.
The suspect was placed into handcuffs, and officers were quickly able to secure the firearm. Detectives were requested to respond to the scene, and determined that the firearm was a Keltec PMR 30 with one round in the chamber and twenty-nine rounds of ammunition inserted into the magazine.
The 17-year-old Juvenile Male was placed under arrest and is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court for the following charges:
- Delinquent to wit; Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
- Delinquent to wit; Carrying a Loaded Firearm
- Delinquent to wit; Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device
