Boston Police Seek Public’s Help to Identify Suspect in Dorchester Elderly Housing Burglary

Detectives from the Boston Police Department’s District B-2 are desperately looking for the public’s assistance in identifying a person involved in a recent break-in in Dorchester. The event happened at the Cardinal Medeiros Manor Apartments, located at 11 Woodcliff Street, last Tuesday between 1:15 and 3:00 PM, according to official Boston Police Department communications.

The sought person is a Hispanic man who is dressed in black pants, a red shirt, and glasses. Notably, he was carrying a brown bag, had a tattoo on his right arm, and wore a lanyard around his neck. According to the Boston Police Department website, this suspect was able to enter an apartment in an assisted living facility, persuaded an elderly resident to surrender financial documents, and then took a number of personal documents, including credit cards.

The Boston Police Department is currently conducting a thorough investigation into the events that before and followed the break-in. They are sincere in their attempts to provide those impacted with justice. They welcome any information that could result in the suspect’s capture in an effort to deepen their investigation. As such, anyone who may have pertinent information can call the detectives at District B-2 immediately at (617) 343-4275.

The BPD offers an additional way for informants to submit tips in order to protect their privacy and safety. The public has been encouraged to use the CrimeStoppers Tip Line by texting the word “TIP” to CRIME (27463) or by phoning 1 (800) 494-TIPS if they would like to remain anonymous. The public has been reassured by the Boston Police Department that they will “stringently guard and protect the identities” of people who submit anonymous information.
