Pair Who Pushed, Robbed 92-Year-Old Woman Arrested: Police

Two people have been arrested in connection to last week's assault and robbery of a 92-year-old woman in Quincy.

Kayla Noel-Brown, 26, of Quincy and Markell Cruz, 27, of Somerville will be arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court.

Noel-Brown was noticed late Sunday morning by a State Trooper in Boston who saw her photo on a Quincy Police social media page, according to State Police. She was wanted in relation to a recent assault and robbery of an elderly woman, who police say was pushed to the ground and robbed of her purse.

When the trooper approached the woman near Massachusetts Avenue and Northampton Street, she allegedly identified herself as Nancy Brown. The trooper checked with Quincy Police, who provided a photo that confirmed the suspect was indeed Kayla Noel-Brown.

Quincy Police responded to the scene and arrested Noel-Brown and Cruz. Police said both were involved with the Nov. 19 assault and robbery of the victim.

Noel-Brown and Cruz are charged with unarmed robbery of an elderly person, assault and battery of an elderly person, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
