BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Police on Monday arrested a man who they dubbed the “Spider Man” robber for allegedly hopping across rooftops after a robbery in the city’s Back Bay section.
At about 4:00 p.m., officers responded to 561 Boylston Street for a report of a man on the roof breaking into a window.
Police say responding officers observed the suspect, later identified as Dale Thomas, 30, of Saugus, “trying to escape by jumping from roof to roof.”
Officers scaled a fire escape, cornered Thomas and then took him into custody. He was charged with breaking and entering.
Thomas was slated to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
