Authorities are looking for the suspects of a smash-and-grab at an East Boston cellphone store on Tuesday morning.
This happened around 4 a.m. on Tuesday. They first used a hammer to smash their way into Plaza Aries – a cell phone store at Maverick Square in East Boston, where they destroyed the display cases, taking as much as they might carry before getting away.
The owner tells us they made away with several thousand dollars’ worth of merchandise, not to mention the thick security glass that cost more than 2 grand to repair.
This is the fourth time the store has been robbed this year, according to the owner. Prior to that, he says his store has never been robbed in the 25 years he’s owned it.
Several other business owners in the area say break-ins have increased recently and some of them calling for more police patrols in the area.
“I think they need to have more of a police presence at the Maverick Station. 24 hours, 7 days a week. That will probably take care of most of it.” said Juan Posada, the owner of Aries Plaza.
There have been no arrests at this point.
