BURLINGTON, MA -- Revere Police arrested four male juveniles early Tuesday morning after they crashed a car that had been stolen at gunpoint hours earlier in Burlington. Police recovered two BB guns in the Audi A4 after the crash on Route 1A.
Burlington Police responded to a call around 7:23 pm Monday from a resident of the Beacon Apartments on Beacon Street. The "visibly shaken" man told police he had arrived home and was checking email while parked in his parking space. A man opened the door to the car, shoved a gun in his chest and forced him to get out of the car.
At least three suspects got into the car and sped off, police said. The victim was not physically injured.
