Masked Former Employee Tries to Rob Dunkin' Donuts in Roslindale

Multiple Dunkin' Donuts employees told Boston Police they recognized the voice of a masked man attempting to stickup the Washington Street franchise as a former employee of the Roslindale business.

On Saturday, July 6, around 1:03 p.m., police responded to the Dunkin' Donuts at 4620 Washington St., for an attempted armed robbery, according to a Boston Police report. 

Multiple employees told police they saw and heard the masked suspect brandish a small knife in one hand (possibly a box cutter), a bag in the other hand, and stated, "Give me the money."

More than one employee began to scream and run outside of the business, telling police they feared for their lives from the suspect, who only identified the suspect as "Joe" and recognized his voice as a former employee of the location.

The suspect was unable to make off with any money, and fled towards the Verizon building in the same parking lot. 

Surveillance video was pulled from the location and was provided to Boston Police.
