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.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the scary encounter, and the suspect fleeing on foot down Dudley Street before turning left onto Langdon Street.

Anyone with information about the incident it asked to call District B-2 Detectives at (617) 343-4275.
