Since the beginning of July, Boston Police District A-1 have seen an increase in “Breaking & Enterings” in the North End (see recent police reports). Sgt Tom Lema asks residents & businesses to review this Breaking & Entering Advisory Bulletin (pdf).
The North End’s Hanover Street was the location described in Michael O’Brien’s lawsuit filed last week against police officers when his pal hit a double-parked BMW. The March 2009 incident spiraled out of control when O’Brien tried to record the officers who alledgedly responded with excessive force. The following is an excerpt of the complaint via Universal Hub. The BPD and City of Boston have not yet responded to the complaint. The Globe also reported on the lawsuit in this article.
