Security guards quickly picked up the guy's scent

Boston Police report arresting a Weymouth man on a charge that he held up the Crabtree and Evelyn shop at Quincy Market on Saturday evening.

Police say Glenn Kerivan, 49, entered the store around 6 p.m., went up to the counter, motioned as if he had a weapon and said "this is a holdup."

Mall security officers were able to find and detain him after he fled with an unspecified amount of money, police say, adding police officers recovered a knife.

Innocent until proven coated in a delicate honeysuckle-scented body wash.
