BOSTON — Officers from the Boston Police Department’s Hyde Park unit seized three firearms and $28,000 in cash early Tuesday morning after responding to a report of a suspicious person.
At about 1:29 a.m., on Sept. 17, officers assigned to District E-18 (Hyde Park) were called to 8 Neponset Avenue.
A victim had reported observing a group of four males sitting inside two vehicles outside his house, discussing plans to break in.
When police arrived, they spotted a vehicle parked opposite the victim’s residence.
As they sought additional details from Boston Police Operations, the suspects’ vehicle sped away toward Canterbury Street.
After a brief pursuit, the vehicle stopped on Eldridge Road, where two suspects immediately fled on foot.
Despite a search, the suspects eluded capture.
A subsequent inventory search of the abandoned vehicle led to the recovery of the firearms and approximately $28,194 in currency.
The Boston Police Department is actively investigating the incident and encourages anyone with information to contact District E-18 Detectives at (617) 343-5607.
