Brookline Attempted Armed Home Robbery Caught On Video: Police

BROOKLINE, MA — Dramatic surveillance video showing two men accused of attempting to scale a South Brookline home while one was holding a semi-automatic pistol "with the intent to break into the home or maybe even something worse" was released by the Brookline Police Department on its social media account on Tuesday.

Brookline police said that the homeowner saw the scene unfolding on their own surveillance camera and called police.

"Officer Sean Driscoll was on scene in seconds to take this suspect into custody," Brookline Sgt. Robert Disario said. "The second suspect was captured not long after by Officer Ryan Cabezas and Officer P'tah Johnson. It was then discovered that one of the suspects was in possession of a semi-automatic firearm."

Disario said Mounssif Fellahi and Akram Boudhan were both taken into custody. Police said Boudhan is scheduled to have a dangerousness hearing on Thursday, while Fellahi has been assessed a $10,000 bail.

"Extra shout out to the patrol division for their quick response and the homeowner who wasted no time alerting us so we could capture them and prevent what very well could have been a dangerous situation," Disario said.
