The Cambridge Police have made three arrests in connection with two street robberies that occurred in Mid-Cambridge last night. A 16-year-old male and two 17-year-old males will be charged with Unarmed Robbery. 

Officers responded to Fayette Street last night at approximately 8:13 p.m. for a report of a robbery, in which three juveniles reportedly demanded the victim’s wallet while he was walking home. Minutes later, Officers responded to a separate robbery that reportedly occurred in the area of Inman and Harvard Street. Three juveniles demanded money from the victim. Two suspects who fit the description provided by the victims were stopped by Officers and positively identified by the victims in both incidents. Evidence from the robberies was found on the possession of the third suspect at his home, where Officers were conducting a search warrant related to the Armed Robbery that occurred on September 14th at approximately 4 p.m. in the area of Harvard and Lee Street. That third suspect is also being summonsed for the September 14th Armed Robbery.

Anyone with any information related to these incidents is asked to call the Cambridge Police at 617-349-3300.   Those who wish to submit tips anonymously via phone, email, and text message, should visit www.CambridgePolice.org/Tips.
