Two Men Charged in Dorchester Knifepoint Robbery

Police followed a blue moped to nearby addresses that produced two arrests and revealed one suspect holds outstanding Suffolk Superior Court warrants.

Overview

  • A woman said two men on a blue moped robbed her at knifepoint, taking her chain and wallet after the passenger approached her with a knife and she fell to the ground.
  • Detectives tracked the moped to the area of 777 Tremont Street and took driver Deivi Yoander Sanchez Aguasvivas into custody when the vehicle returned to that address.
  • Officers later located the same blue moped at a residence and arrested passenger Luis Miguel Ramirez-Astacio, and both men were arraigned in Roxbury District Court on armed robbery and assault-with-a-weapon charges.
  • Police disclosed that Ramirez-Astacio has outstanding warrants from Suffolk Superior Court that list multiple prior alleged offenses, including counts tied to assault and robbery.
  • The case will continue through the Boston court system, with one defendant held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing, and prosecutors must now decide whether to pursue additional charges based on the outstanding warrants and evidence recovered by detectives.
