Boston Police End Public ID Appeal in Roxbury Robbery After Video Shows Knife

Surveillance footage is now public, with detectives still welcoming tips despite no arrests.

Overview

  • The Dec. 5 robbery at Marcella’s Market occurred around 4:40 p.m., when three men entered and one brandished a knife as others went behind the counter to take smoking products and vapes.
  • Store surveillance video reported by 7NEWS shows the men browsing, approaching the counter, and one suspect pulling a knife before the group fled toward Centre Street.
  • Boston police say they are no longer asking the public to help identify the suspects, though the investigation remains open and no arrests have been announced.
  • Initial guidance included detailed clothing and mask descriptions for all three suspects and noted they may frequent the Heath Street area.
  • Detectives ask anyone with information to call 617-343-4275, with anonymous tips accepted via the CrimeStoppers Tip Line, text line, or online, and the clerk has begun buzzing customers into the locked store as a safety step.
