Overview

• Boston police say two juvenile female suspects stole several hundred dollars in merchandise around 4:55 p.m. Sunday at 208 Newbury Street and fled on foot.
• No arrests have been announced in either case, and police urge anyone with information to contact detectives or submit anonymous tips to CrimeStoppers.
• Police released surveillance video from last week’s incident showing at least three people fleeing the same store with about $6,140 in clothing and leaving in a dark-colored sedan.
• Officials have not determined whether Sunday’s theft is related to last week’s case at the same location.
• The reports come as Boston tracks a sharp rise in shoplifting since 2019 and as officers focus on repeat offenders, with other recent cases including a late-September $700 theft at Lululemon’s Prudential Center store.
