Guns, Tasers Shown During Alleged Mission Hill Robberies
ROXBURY (CBS) – Boston police are warning residents after two reported armed robberies early Saturday morning in the Mission Hill area of Roxbury.
Police said in a community alert that four black men, believed to be in their early 20s, showed guns and tasers during alleged robberies on Parker Hill Ave. in the area of McLaughlin Playground.
