On Saturday evening, November 29, 2025, at approximately 8:30 p.m., officers assigned to District B-2 responded to a call in the area of Columbia Road and Quincy Street in Dorchester. During the initial response, officers determined that a vehicle had been taken and the incident was under investigation.
The victim was assisted by responding officers, advised of available resources, and transported from the scene. A canvass of the surrounding area was conducted, but the vehicle was not immediately located.
On Sunday, November 30, 2025, additional information was provided to officers indicating the incident involved an armed carjacking. Investigators learned the vehicle was taken after the victim was directed to stop at a location in Dorchester, where multiple suspects were involved, including at least one individual armed with a firearm.
District B-2 detectives initiated a comprehensive investigation, reviewing surveillance footage from residential buildings, private security systems, and City of Boston cameras. Video evidence showed the victim’s vehicle arriving at the Indigo Block Apartments on East Cottage Street. Shortly after, suspects were observed leaving the vehicle area, and a third individual approached on foot and drove the vehicle from the location.
Additional footage tracked the stolen vehicle traveling through Dorchester before it was parked near Abbotsford Street. Surveillance later showed multiple suspects entering a nearby apartment building carrying items believed to have been taken from the vehicle.
On Friday, December 5, 2025, investigators located the stolen vehicle parked and unoccupied outside a residence on Abbotsford Street. The vehicle was towed to Boston Police Headquarters, where it was processed by the Crime Scene Response Unit.
