Boston Police tonight are searching for a group of men who may be responsible for armed holdups on Mt. Vernon Street by the McCormack School and on Grant Street on the other side of the Expressway.
Police were looking for five white guys - two in their 20s, three in their teens - for a robbery around 10:15 p.m. by the McCormack School. All were dressed in black with black hoodies. About 25 minutes later, somebody reported being held up at gunpoint on Grant Street - on the other side of the Expressway - by two white guys dressed in black, one displaying a gun.
