Teen charged with two armed robberies of Blue Hill Avenue convenience store

Boston Police report arresting an 18-year-old on charges he used a BB gun to hold up Mr. Convenience Plus, 646 Blue Hill Ave., twice in March.

Police say officers were out looking for the kid, whom they did not name, when:

Officers observed a male matching the given description walking on Glenway Street and attempted to stop him. When the suspect saw one of the officers exit the vehicle he immediately started running at full speed while keeping his hands in his coat pockets which led officers to believe he may be in possession of a weapon.

Police say the teen told officers he ditched his "a semiautomatic handgun styled BB gun" during the chase, but pointed officers to its location and then, during booking for being a disorderly person, confessed to the robberies.
