CRIME LOGS: Missing tires

The following reports were taken from the Boston Police Department’s Allston-Brighton D-14 crime logs from Sept. 4 to Sept. 11.

At about 8:23 a.m. on Friday, officers responded to a call for larceny at Herb Chambers Toyota at 32 Brighton Avenue in Allston. The inventory manager of Herb Chambers told the officer that all four tires were gone from one of their vehicles, which was parked in the Herb Chambers used car lot across the street. Officers were told that the vehicle was a 2012 Toyota Venza, which was placed in the parking lot by one of their sales associates at about 10:00 p.m. on Thursday. The manager said the parking lot is gated and locked during non-business hours. The car was discovered raised on cinder blocks by a lot attendant, with all its tires missing.

Drink and Fight

At about 2:20 a.m. on Saturday, officers observed a fight near 170 Brighton Ave. and found two people pinned to the ground by bouncers from the bar, Tavern in the Square. The bouncers told police that the two men on the ground were involved in a stabbing that took place moments before. The stabbed man was found outside 160 Brighton Ave. with a wound to his chest. He was taken to Beth Israel Hospital by Boston EMS A-14. Police searched the area but did not recover the weapon.

Another security member told officers that before the stabbing he saw two groups about to start a fight outside the bar, and one person had a knife. Police tried to find witnesses, but no one came forward with information. A bouncer from the tavern told officers a member of the group that stabbed the man approached the staff and made a gesture, imitating the slitting of a throat.

I wanna hold your hand

At 3:17 a.m. on Saturday, officers responded to a call for a breaking and entering in Allston near 23 West Sorrento St. Upon arrival, officers spoke to a man who said he was sleeping and woke up in his bedroom to an unknown 5’11” white shirtless male. The suspect knelt beside the victim and held his hand, telling him he was not “nearly as sorry as you are going to be.” The suspect left the victim’s room and went into his roommate’s room, where he woke him up and asked, “What are you doing in my house?” The shirtless male was then asked to leave and complied.

Dumpster dimes

At about 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a call for a white male throwing trash behind Comm Ave. Wine and Spirits store. When officers arrived at 1229 Comm. Ave., the suspect was sitting on the rear steps, reeking of alcohol and breathing heavily. Officers at the District 14 station recognized him as a man who frequently generates citizen complaints. The male said he was looking for nickels and change in the trash. Officers told the male that the police would seek a Section 12 from Brighton District Court, at which point the man cleaned up the trash.
