Woman robbed of chain at gunpoint on Dudley Street in Roxbury

Boston Police report they are looking for a chain robber who displayed a gun to force one of women to give up a chain she was wearing on Dudley Street at Clarence Street in Roxbury around 8:20 p.m. on Sunday.

The suspect's description sounds similar to the man sought for a string of chain robberies from Mattapan to West Roxbury: A thin Hispanic man about 5'6" in a dark hoodie. However, that suspect ripped the chains off his victims' necks, rather than displaying a gun.

Police say that the Roxbury robber made off with a gold chain with "Portuguese prayer hands" and blue pearls on it.
