Some Mistakes Are Worth Making Twice – But for One Suspect in Brighton – Mistaking the Wrong Address is One He Hopes to Never Make Again
Wrong Address
At about 4:58am, on Saturday, January 28, 2012, officers from Area D-14 (Brighton) responded to a call for a person creating a disturbance and making all sorts of noise at 1607 Commonwealth Avenue. On arrival, officers spoke to several tenants who stated that they heard a white male loudly pounding and banging on the building’s front glass door. Tenants go on to say that the suspect broke the glass door and entered the building. One tenant, who was awoken from a dead sleep, exited his apartment and asked the suspect if he lived in the building. When the suspect said he lived in the same apartment as the tenant posing the question, the tenant returned to his apartment and called police.
A search of the building enabled officers to locate the suspect milling about on the third floor of the building. When asked if had been banging on the downstairs front door, the suspect stated, “Yes. I’m sorry.” When asked if his banging lead to the door being broken, the suspect again replied, “Yes. I’m sorry.”
When asked to provide an explanation for his being in the building, the suspect stated, “I thought my friend lived here.”
Officers arrested Keith Dangora, 22, of Braintree and charged him with the Willful & Malicious Destruction of Property and Breaking and Entering.

Community Alert: Boston Police Warn Against Larceny Scam
The Boston Police Department has received multiple complaints from concerned citizens regarding a phone scam. This scam appears to be targeting elderly victims.
Several victims have reported to police receiving a phone call from number 702-330-9199 and other similar numbers. Victims are then told by the caller (suspect) that they have won a prize which includes a large amount of money, a new car or property. Victims are then instructed by the caller to go to a local convenience store and purchase a Green Dot Money Pack (reloadable credit card). After the reloadable credit card is purchased, victims are instructed to contact the caller (suspect) and provide the serial number to the prepaid card. Once that occurs, the suspect is given access to the account and the money.
Officers would like to take this opportunity to alert potential victims that there is no prize. This is a scam.
Incident Description:
On January 25, 2012, officers received a call from an elderly victim in the area of Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. The victim reported to officers that he received a phone call from an unknown suspect and was told that he was the winner of $225,000 and a new car. The victim was then instructed to go to the local convenience store and purchase a Green Dot Money Pack and place $300.00 on the account. The victim was then told to return home, scratch off the Green Dot serial number and provide it to the male suspect caller over the phone. The victim did not contact the suspect, but instead called police.
Contact Information:
The Boston Police Department encourages individuals who receive phone calls of this nature to call 911 immediately. Victims should never send money to an unknown individual and should instead immediately contact police.
