Police: Once again, Dorchester thuglets celebrate attack at Boston Bowl

Boston Police report a man was walking down Freeport Street shortly before 8 p.m. yesterday when he noticed four guys following him:

The victim stated that he attempted to escape from the suspects but they chased him, and surrounded him. According to the victim, once the suspects surrounded him, one of them pulled out a knife and demanded that he give them everything he had on him. The victim reported that the suspects went through his pockets after he gave them his cell phone then they fled on foot in the direction of Morrissey Boulevard.

While officers were interviewing him, a security officer at Boston Bowl called police to say he had two of the suspects. Police nabbed them and then, shortly after, nabbed the other two at Victory Road and Everdeen Street.

The four were aged between 13 and 16; all were charged with armed robbery.

A couple weeks ago, Boston Police nabbed two other alleged teen thugs at the bowling alley after they allegedly mugged a guy at gunpoint on Tenean Beach.

"tune ups" on a darkened back street have gotten a bad rap.
