City detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying suspects reportedly involved in a breaking and entering this week in Roxbury.
The B&E occurred Monday between 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. in the area of 19 Clarence Street, the site of a row of neatly painted triple-deckers.
Anyone with information is strongly urged to contact District B-2 Detectives at (617) 343-4275. Or call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1 (800) 494-TIPS or by texting the word ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463).
Detectives assigned to the Crimes Against Children Unit arrested Gardner Moore, 41, of Hyde Park, for possession of child pornography, police said.
Detectives were conducting an ongoing investigation and execution of a search warrant in the area of 50 Thatcher Street when they arrested Moore, BPD said.
Mandell Johnson, 31, of Newton was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and defacement of a firearm serial number after police said they pulled the car he was a passenger in over Quincy Street near Blue Hill Avenue.
Police said the driver was operating the vehicle “recklessly.”
After patting him down, Johnson was accused of carrying a Mossberg MC1-SC “with one round in the chamber and five rounds in the magazine.” The firearm’s serial number was also removed, BPD added.
A Mossberg MC1-SC single- stack, locked-breech, recoil-operated, striker-fired pistol with a molded polymer frame and a steel slide.
