BOSTON, MA — Two 15-year-old juveniles were arrested Wednesday in connection with a series of package thefts in the North End.
Officers assigned to District A-1 responded to a report of a larceny in progress near Prince Street and Snow Hill Street at approximately 5:28 p.m.
While officers were en route, personnel monitoring Boston Police camera feeds located two males in the area of Snow Hill Street who matched the description provided by the 911 caller.
The individuals were observed opening packages and discarding the empty boxes on the ground.
Officers were provided a description, a direction of travel, and a still photograph of the subjects.
Upon arrival, officers located a group of juveniles at DeFilippo Playground, 135 Prince Street, matching the suspect description.
