Joseph Porcelli reports there were five robberies last night in the area around Stony Brook station and Hyde Square - three of them at gunpoint.
Suspects described as two slim, white, Hispanic males in their late teens, one with curly hair and freckles, held up two people at Boylston and Amory and Centre and Forbes streets between after 6 p.m., he writes. Then, between 11:15 and 11:25, three people were robbed at Boylston and Chestnut and Boylston and Adelaide, by a black male and black female in their 20s, one of whom used a gun.

Had it been an hour earlier around Boylston, that easily could've been me....
At least they waited until
At least they waited until after I led my Historical Society tour last Saturday.
Let's hope....
...the JP Crime Tour isn't up next!
Nice street, bad mojo
Late reply to this but I recently moved to the Wyman/Chestnut/Boylston area. I have had several small scares at night on Boylston st near Chestnut and last night, while I was headed to get a Zipcar at JP Oil on my bike a man pointed a gun at me while he, and 3 others, was driving past. Luckily they only slowed down, pointed the gun at me and said "what up nigga?!!" but I was sufficiently freaked out enough to not be able to remember the car make for a 911 call.
It goes without saying but be careful in this neighborhood at night!
