Boston Police report the arrest of a pair of teens they spotted pushing a scooter at Warren and Wyoming streets around 3:25 this morning.
Police say the two told officers the scooter's battery was dead and they were pushing it to a nearby Auto Zone (which actually closes at 9). The officers proved skeptical: The two had no proof they owned the scooter, had no key and appeared nervous and there was what seemed to be fresh damage to the scooter's ignition. Also, they were walking away from the Auto Zone, and a bulge in one guy's clothes turned out to be a knife and screwdriver, police say.
Shawn T. Hussey, 19 of Roxbury and Samuel D. Milton, 19 of Newton were arrested and charged with receiving a stolen vehicle and possession of burglarious tools.
Innocent, etc.
