Two Teens Charged After Robbery and Assault at Dorchester Liquor Store
Two teenagers are facing charges after an alleged robbery and assault at O’Brien’s Liquor Store on Dot Avenue in Ashmont.
According to Universal Hub, the incident happened on October 1st around 11am when a group of teens allegedly stole four packs of canned cocktails from the store. When employees tried to stop them, a struggle broke out. The store owner reported that he and his wife were assaulted.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows a 15-year-old pinning an employee against a wall while a 14-year-old struck an employee in the head with a bag containing two unopened soda cans.
The store owner also told police that the group returned two more times that day.
Both teens have been charged with armed robbery, and the 14-year-old faces an additional charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Both were released on personal recognizance and ordered to stay away from the store. Their names have not been released because they are minors.
