Recent Robberies Similar, Likely Unrelated

An bore a close resemblance to another recent crime, but may not be connected.

Boston Police reported that, on Sunday around 9:30 p.m., two men and a woman attacked a female victim on Monument Street. The woman told police (and later Charlestown Patch) that she had recently left the Community College T station.

Sgt. Tom Lema said that another woman reported a on Saturday, Nov. 19.

She told police that two men and a woman “punched her to the ground” and robbed her on Dunstable Street after she left the Community College station. The crime occurred around 8:15 p.m., Lema said, and both women were under 35.

While the two crimes sound similar, Lema said they differ on important details. Sunday’s victim described her assailants as African-American. The earlier victim, Lema said, described her assailants as possibly white or Hispanic.

Both crimes remain under investigation, Lema said.
