ARMED ROBBERIES BELIEVED CONNECTED

Revere Police are in the process of working down an investigation into three street robberies in the Shirley Avenue area last Saturday and Sunday.

“At a minimum two of these are related and we believe that probably all three are related,” said Lt. John Goodwin. “We do have leads and a suspect we’re looking at. We’re in the process of rounding up surveillance video to see if we can identify those we believe are responsible. At one residence on Arlington Avenue, we will have video from a private surveillance system set up right where the crime happened.”

The first robbery took place on Franklin Avenue around 11:52 p.m. on Saturday when a Domino’s Pizza driver was jumped and robbed of $20.

The driver had delivered food to a home, and after receiving the money, was robbed at gunpoint by two men.

Police said they believe it was a crime of opportunity and not connected to the delivery.

The second robbery took place around 4 a.m. Sunday on Shirley Avenue when a man was walking home from work.

The 38-year-old man reported that has he walked from the train to the bus, two men approached him. One put a gun to his head and pistol-whipped him with the gun.

They demanded money, and the man begged for his life. At some point, the robbers got spooked and fled the scene before getting any cash.

A K-9 unit was dispatched to track the men, but to no avail.

Finally, at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, a DJ coming home from work was robbed of $100 at his front door on Arlington Avenue. The man reported that he noticed two young men milling about as he got out of his car.

He went to his door, got out his keys, and the two came up behind him and jumped him.

They demanded money while pointing a black handgun to his face.

CAR EXPLODES AT WHELAN

A student teacher at the Susan B. Anthony Middle School had her car burst into flames Tuesday morning shortly after arriving at the school.

Fire Chief Gene Doherty said the 22-year-old had been driving her boyfriend’s 1999 VW Beetle from Hamilton when she smelled smoke. The car was overheating and she left the hood open before it broke out in tremendous flames. Upon arrival by Engine 4, it was fully involved.

There were no injuries to anyone.

“It was quite a raging blaze,” said Supt. Paul Dakin. “I guess she had smelled smoke coming, and she parked and a few minutes later it burst fully into flames.”

POLICE INVESTIGATE SUPPOSED ARMED ROBBERY

Revere Police are investigating the armed robbery of a man on Kimball Avenue last Tuesday, Oct. 14 – a robbery that resulted in the man allegedly losing $11,000 cash.

Around 7 p.m. on Oct. 14, the man told police that he had been robbed at gunpoint by two black males who pulled up in a black SUV and robbed him while pointing a black gun at his face.

The man told police that he and a female business partner buy and sell cars, and that he had just sold a car for $11,000 cash. When the robbers pulled up, he told them he had no money. They pushed him to the ground and began searching through his pockets.

Then they punched him in the face.

Finally, they found a Ziploc bag in his pocket containing the cash. He said they fled towards the Wonderland Ballroom.

Police questioned him about his business partner, who had been asking him for the money. He refused to answer any further questions about his partner and police said he stopped cooperating.

It remains under investigation.

 

RPD NEVER GIVES UP ON CRIMINALS

After a long, involved process, Revere Police and a fugitive apprehension team last Wednesday, Oct. 15, were able to take in a man with multiple drug cases pending in Revere.

Revere Police first arrested the man in March 2013 for possession with intent to sell drugs in the Shirley Avenue area.

The man was bailed and, soon, began allegedly dealing in the area again.

Police were able to put together another case, but arrested him in Everett and the case was prosecuted in Middlesex County.

Again, he was bailed.

Not long after that, another case came up in Chelsea where a warrant was issued.

Lt. John Goodwin said the man, Cesario Cortorreal, had been on his bulletin board for months as a target to re-arrest.

He had been in New York, but last week police received information that Cortorreal was allegedly dealing heroin in Chelsea’s Bellingham Square. Police and the fugitive unit confirmed that fact by tracking his phone and then observing him.

He was arrested on the corner in Chelsea and held on a higher bail this time – perhaps not allowing him to default on the case.

“We keep track of these guys and we have others we’ll go after too,” he said. “These drug dealers exist in a small community and they talk to each other. We want our reputation in Revere to be that we don’t forget and we’ll keep coming after you. That message is getting out there.”

Cortorreal, 38, of Everett, was arrested on warrants.

JUVENILE ARRESTED WITH AMMO

Revere Police arrested a youth Sunday night on Florence Avenue when he showed up at home with handgun ammo in his pockets.

The 17-year-old boy’s mother allegedly found the ammo and some pills in his pocket and called police.

Police said she was adamant about wanting her son held accountable.

The youth was charged with possession of ammo without a permit and possession of a Class B drug…
