New pictures released of suspect who allegedly robbed 2 women at gunpoint in Roxbury

BOSTON — Authorities released new pictures Thursday of a suspect accused of robbing two women at gunpoint in Roxbury over the weekend.

Boston Police say the masked suspect followed a grandmother and her 65-year-old cousin around 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of Dudley and Clarence Street.

The suspect pulled out a gun, pointed it at the head of one of the victims, and ripped off a necklace of great sentimental value.

The necklace is described as a gold chain with “Portuguese prayer hands” and blue pearls on it. The victim says the jewelry was a gift from her son who passed away back in 2006.
