Boston Police Blotter: Gone in 60 seconds: Woman carjacked at movie theater

According to Braintree Police, the teens approached the woman as she sat in her car in the parking lot of the AMC movie theater on Grandview Road on Friday evening. They allegedly knocked on her window and threatened to shoot her if she didn’t get out of the car. Fearing for her life, police say, she complied — even though a gun was never displayed.

The teens took off in the car, which included the woman’s personal possessions including her purse. Braintree Police issued a Be On the Lookout — or BOLO — alert. The Boston Police Department got back to them an hour later, saying the suspect vehicle was found unoccupied in the city. An unidentified witness provided additional information that led police to the suspects.

Due to the age of the defendants, Braintree Police has not identified them.
