Police: Armed Man Robbed Hanover Street 7-Eleven

The following information was supplied by the Boston Police Department. Charges listed do not indicate convictions. 

Boston Police are looking for the owner of a black Red Sox cap, which was left behind at the scene of a robbery in the North End.

Boston Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at the 7-Eleven at 464 Hanover Street at about 2:18 a.m. on Wednesday, June 26.

Officers spoke to the night manager, who said that he was stocking shelves when a white male, 5’6’’ to 5’8’’ wearing sunglasses, a black shirt, long shorts and a black Red Sox hat entered the store. The manager said that the man pulled his shirt up over his mouth to conceal his face.

At this point, the manager told police that the suspect brandished a small black handgun, leapt over the counter and slammed the cash register on the ground. The manager then witnessed the suspect lean down and picked an unknown amount of money from the register.

The suspect leapt back over the counter and fled towards Commercial Street and North Washington Street. At some point, the baseball cap fell off of the suspect’s head.

The manager said that the suspect never said a word during the robbery. Officers will use the store surveillance cameras as well as the cameras outside of the nearby Coast Guard base. Officers took the hat in as evidence. 

The investigation is ongoing.
