Stony Brook liquor store only robbed once

NOTE: This post originally said Stonybrook Wine and Spirits had been robbed again on March 17, two months after it was robbed by a guy with a prominent facial scar.

In fact, as Jamaica Plain Patch reports, a Boston Police report that read as if the store had been robbed a second time by the same two guys was about the January robbery.

DCR must be flush with success.

Not the most practical perhaps, but, ooh, shiny!

Boston Police are looking for a gunman they say held up Stonybrook Wine and Spirits on Tuesday night - and his getaway driver.

Police say a worker at the 80 Boylston St. store was standing outside around 9:40 p.m., when a light-complexioned black man with a "distinct 3-inch scar on his left cheek" approached and pointed a black gun at him.

The gunman ordered him back in the store and told him to empty the cash register. When he spotted a second worker, he ordered him behind the counter as well, police say - giving the first worker enough time to push a silent alarm.

Prior to police arrival the suspect fled with about $600 cash. A review of the cameras revealed a second suspect standby around the corner and a mini van or sport utility vehicle used in the getaway.

Joseph Porcelli reports on a community meeting with police and city officials in Jamaica Plain last night. District E-13 reports there were 21 robberies within 1,500 feet of the Orange Line stop between Nov. 1 and Feb. 14 and that most of the attackers are teens with prior robbery records:

Robbers get away because if your phone is stolen you can't call the police immediately. Don't use your phone on the way home, it won't get stolen, and you won't have to call the police.

Capt. John Greland at District E-13 reports two 18-year-olds and a 16-year-old were arrested last night after a passing motorists noticed them trying to mug a woman on Boylston Street, near Germania Street and scared them off.

Greland says the three, from JP, Roxbury and Brighton, were found not long after at Columbus Avenue and Dimock Street. He said E-13 has stepped up patrols in the area of late, using both plainclothes and uniformed officers and detectives. Attempts to have undercover cops act as potential victims have yet to work, he said.
