Southie heist suspects caught on camera

Boston Police report the video below shows two suspects in two high-end burglaries at the luxury Channel Center complex over Memorial Day weekend:

In one case, on the 11th floor of 25 Channel Center, "assorted antique jewelry valued at approximately $213,000 was stolen." In the other case, on the 8th floor of the same building, "assorted antique jewelry, Flamet painting, and a Dell laptop" worth a total of $30,000 was lifted.

These guys look familiar? Contact Area C-6 detectives at 617-343-4730, or call the anonymous CrimeStoppers line at 1-800-494-TIPS or text the word TIP to CRIME (27463). Oh, and there's a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen goods.

Doing it wrong

Brute-forced lock, baseball caps, shorts, pasty-white legs, and shopping bags?

Aren't high-end burglars supposed to wear black catsuits, use gadgets to override the security systems, and slide down cables launched from mini-crossbows?

You ring enough doorbells

You ring enough doorbells and someone will buzz you in.

I'd check Beacon Hill - no

I'd check Beacon Hill - no shortage of thieves there.

Hate to say it, but who

Hate to say it, but who cares and why?

BPD pretty much says tough luck and call your insurance to everyone else. There's 2-3 break ins a week in Southie.

Nice to know you'll only get help and an investigation if you're a high roller in a supposedly secure luxury apartment complex.
