BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are searching for a man who robbed two older women at gunpoint in Roxbury on Sunday night.
Officers responding to a reported armed robbery at the intersection of Dudley and Clarence streets around 8:20 p.m. learned that the man had followed the two women while they were walking before confronting them and pulling out a gun, according to Boston police.
The women said the man placed the gun against their heads and robbed them of her chain necklaces.
“He said give me the chain, but he said it in Spanish,” one of the victims said.
One of the victims said the thief dropped a gold pendant in the street, which she was glad to have back, but was still rattled.
He is estimated to be about 5 feet, 4 inches tall and was last seen wearing a black hoodie with his hood up, a black face covering, and black pants, officers said.
