Two arrested at Brighton senior apartment building a few doors down from the Cumbie's police say they tried to rob at gunpoint

Boston Police report arresting two men, 64 and 65, at the J.J. Carroll House, 130 Chestnut Hill Ave. in Brighton, yesterday on charges they tried to hold up the Cumberland Farms store just down the block at 148 Chestnut Hill Ave. on May 15.

Police say the clerk foiled their robbery attempt around 11:10 p.m. - in which one of the two pointed a gun at him - by running out of the store.

Police say officers, armed with both arrest and search warrants, arrested James Wise, 64, of Dorchester, and David Jones, 65, of Lynn, at J.J. Carroll, which recently re-opened as an expanded, modernized senior-citizen complex, and seized both a handgun and "an unassembled AR-15 style rifle," along with plenty of ammunition for both.

Wise was charged with attempted armed robbery, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, illegal possession of a large-capacity feeding device, illegal possession of an assault weapon, police say. Jones was charged with attempted armed robbery and possession of class A and B drugs, police say.

Innocent, etc.
