The Boston Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals pictured in connection with several ongoing investigations into assaults and robberies in Dorchester.
Most recently, at about 12:56 AM on Thursday, September 4, 2025, officers assigned to District B-3 (Mattapan/Dorchester) responded to a radio call for a robbery in progress at Maaz’s Chicken, located at 838 Blue Hill Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers were informed that several teenage suspects attempted to gain access to the restaurant’s cash register. According to an employee, three Black teenage females, dressed in black clothing with white lettering, were observed loitering inside the restaurant and harassing customers. When the employee briefly stepped away from the register, one of the females reportedly climbed onto the counter and attempted to open it but was unsuccessful. She is further described as having dyed red hair styled with gel.
At the same time, three Black teenage males were observed waiting outside. All six suspects fled the scene on Blue Hill Avenue toward Talbot Avenue.
The images provided are from surveillance video capturing an earlier incident at about 7:05 PM on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, when officers from District B-3 responded to a report of a robbery at Community Convenience, located at 44 Norfolk Street in Mattapan. In that incident, three teenage girls reportedly entered the store, went behind the counter, and assaulted an employee by punching and kicking him. During the altercation, two employees were assaulted, and the suspects stole candy, vape pens, and ice cream before fleeing on foot toward Withington Street.
Detectives assigned to District B-3 are actively reviewing the facts and circumstances surrounding these incidents. Anyone with information is strongly urged to contact District B-3 Detectives at (617) 343-4712.
