At about 11:40pm on Wednesday, January 9, 2013, officers from District B-3 (Mattapan) responded to a report of an armed robbery in the area of 825 Morton Street (Walgreens).

A 29 year old male victim reported that he was robbed at gunpoint by two black males in the parking lot of Walgreens on the corner of Morton and Norfolk Streets. The victim appeared visibly nervous, frightened, and upset as he stated that two black males pointed a sawed off shotgun at him and robbed him of his Samsung Galaxy Note Cell Phone, Massachusetts Driver’s License, and a large amount of US currency. The victim described Suspect #1 as being a light skinned black male, slim build, approximately 5’11 in height, wearing a black jacket, black jeans, and a knit cap with partial fur flaps that extended over the ears. Suspect #2 was described by the victim as being a light skinned black male, 5’9 in height, with shoulder length braids and thin facial hair, wearing a black jacket, yellow plaid button down shirt underneath, and black jeans. After robbing the victim of his cell phone, license, and money, the victim stated that the suspects fled the scene in a gray, newer model Chevy sedan, being operated by a black female driver.
