I mentioned the drug bust yesterday but it turns out that Romano’s 7 doors down is also having troubles:
Romano’s Market at 138 Harvard St. had never been robbed before this week, according to owner Mike Romano.
But police arrested a would-be robber on Thursday afternoon and another person tried and failed to rob the market on Wednesday, he said.
“This is the first time it’s ever happened,” he said. “We’ve had break-ins before, but we’ve never had anyone attempt to rob us or anything. It happened two days in a row and it kind of concerns me.”
If they are going after Mike that is a very bad move on their part, he is from a different generation and his son’s are not going to take kindly to it, particularly the one just back from Iraq and Gitmo. Then again the employees didn’t care for it either to wit:
A female cashier chased a would-be robber out of the store and across the Arthur DiTommaso Memorial Bridge before he outran her Thursday about 1:25 p.m., Romano said.
“She couldn’t catch him, he was too fast,” Romano said.
That would likely be Katey. The guy is very lucky that the Cops caught him and she didn’t.
All of this happening within a 72 hour period does not bode well for my neighborhood.
