Two masked criminals armed with a gun and a knife carried out what appears to be a carefully crafted crime yesterday morning when they stopped a Roxbury woman as she left her home, drove her to the check-cashing business where she worked, robbed the safe and tied her up.
After working at her restraints, the woman told police, she eventually freed herself in 15 to 20 minutes and called police.
The crooks fled the scene in the woman’s blue Honda minivan, the victim told police. The car was recovered at the corner of Elm Hill Avenue and Cheney Street about a block from the alleged victim’s home an hour after the crime was reported.
Police said the woman was visibly shaken when they found her.
She told cops that as she was leaving her Homestead Avenue apartment yesterday about 7:50 a.m., a masked man approached her in the hallway of her building and ordered her into her car at gunpoint. Outside the apartment building, a masked man armed with a knife waited and the three got into her minivan and drove to where the woman works, at Boston Checkcashing Inc. on American Legion Highway.
There the woman claimed the men ordered her to open the store, then open safe. She told police the robbers took money from inside the safe, then tied her up and left her in the store. She described her alleged attackers as two black men between 20 and 30 years old, both about 5 feet 7 inches tall.
It was the second reported carjacking in the last 24 hours in Boston, and in both cases the suspects remain at large. The first happened Friday morning, when two men forced a mother and her 14-year-old son into their car, left them in Quincy and drove off with the car.
A man working behind the counter at Boston Checkcashing Inc. would not say how long the woman had worked there, or how she was doing.
an awful lot of use of the word "Alleged".......... hahahaha. DOES sound kinda fishy. I actually heard this go down on the scanner but only knew about the carjacking part. CRAZY.
