On arrival, the victims, a 25-year-old female and 29-year-old male, told police that their roommate had been stealing checks since April to pay for his drug habit. The male victim discovered that the suspect took checks worth over $2,068 and $200 in cash. The suspect admitted his addiction and theft, and police placed him under arrest. After searching the suspect, police found two checks, two orange pills and two yellow pills that the suspect said were Suboxone and Klonopin. The suspect also had a black eye and multiple scratches from the angry female victim. The suspect was charged with larceny over $250, forgery and possession of class E drugs.

Tomb Raider II
A worker at Evergreen Cemetery reported vandalism to tombs for the second time this month at 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday. The worker reported that the vandalism took place sometime the previous evening at 2016 Commonwealth Ave. The vandal knocked the marble top off one tomb, smashed a marble door of another and completely destroyed a third marble door to a third tomb. Police collected evidence, but it is still unknown if anything was stolen from the tombs. Previous and similar vandalism occurred on Sept. 16.

Six on one
At 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, Boston Police responded to a call reporting an assault and battery at 28 Gerald Rd. in Brighton. On arrival, the victim, a 20-year-old male student from Boston College, stated he was attacked by six black males aged 16 to 18 as he was walking home. He claimed to be hassled and then followed to his residence after refusing to converse with the group. As he turned for his door, he was punched in the back of his head. After he closed the door, he stated that one of the suspects stabbed and scratched the glass of his door with a pocketknife. Suspects fled when the victim yelled, “Call 911!” to his roommate. The suspects were not found.
