Boston police say the suspect got away with eight youth hockey jerseys, worth around $300.
A man is accused of stealing youth hockey jerseys from a home in Boston's Brighton neighborhood this week.
The incident occurred at about 12:12 a.m. Tuesday on Murdock Street, Boston police said.
The man was seen entering an enclosed house porch around that time holding a Dunkin' Donuts bag, according to police. He then allegedly returned almost an hour later holding a McDonald's bag.
The man took eight Allston-Brighton jerseys before leaving in a Prius style vehicle, police said.
He was described as a middle-aged man, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs roughly 180 to 220 pounds.
The man was seen wearing a blue or black baseball hat with a white logo, gold necklace, red faded New England Patriots t-shirt, black shorts and black Nike running sows with a white swoosh, police said.
A representative from Allston-Brighton youth hockey released a statement to NBC10 Boston:
"It’s really unfortunate that someone would steal these items from one of our youth hockey players and hope the jerseys are returned quickly.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Boston Police Department at 617-343-4256.
