BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are turning to the public for help identifying a woman wanted in connection with a robbery earlier this month at a store in Dorchester, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of a person armed with a knife on Blue Hill Avenue around 8 p.m. on March 4 spoke with a victim who said a woman had just entered a storm armed with a knife, began swinging the knife at customers, and then went down various aisles and stole merchandise, according to police.
She also allegedly pointed a knife at the victim and threated to stab him if he approached her.
She is described as a Black female about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build who was wearing a blonde wig, gray jacket, pink sweater, black pants, and gray boots.
