On Friday, July 18, at 3:19 p.m., Stoughton Police responded to a store at 257 School St. following reports of an armed robbery.
The suspect was described as a male, dressed all in black, who displayed a handgun, demanded money from the register and likely fled on a bike. Through an investigation Stoughton Police identified the suspect as the 16-YEAR-OLD MALE.
Stoughton Police worked with the Easton Police Department to locate the suspect and take him into custody without incident on Monday, July 21.

No innocent victims, or the suspect, were hurt in our pursuit of justice. That’s a job well done.”
