Boston Police convince armed robbery suspects to surrender without incident
Three people accused of committing armed robbery in Dorchester were arrested by Boston Police without incident on Wednesday night, police said.
A store clerk at Pleasant View Variety Store in Savin Hill called police on Wednesday at 6 p.m., saying that three masked men, one of whom had a gun, had robbed the store. The suspects went behind the counter and took cash from the register and several cartons of cigarettes before fleeing, the clerk told police.
Police determined the location of the suspects, and a Boston Police SWAT team and negotiators responded to the scene. After a “considerable’’ amount of time, the negotiators were able to convince the trio to surrender without further incident, police said.
A search warrant of the location found a loaded .45 caliber handgun, a large amount of cash, and the cartons of cigarettes that had been taken from the store.
Jose Morales, 21, Andronique Dossantos, 18, and Kallahn Winbush, 18, were arraigned in Dorchester Municipal Court on charges of armed robbery while masked, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Morales and Dossantos were ordered held on $100,000 bail, while Winbush was held on $50,000 bail. All three were ordered to stay away from the scene of the alleged robbery if they post bail.
