11-year-old Boy Steals Electronic Pod from Boston Store

Aug.23.2022
11-year-old boy broke into a 7-Eleven with a hammer to steal an electronic pod. Police notified his parents.

The Boston police reported that an 11-year-old boy broke the window of a 7-11 store using a hammer in order to steal electronic pods.


At approximately 4:11am, officials in Boston responded to a report of a break-in at 473 West Broadway Street in South Boston. Upon arrival, responders discovered that the store's glass door had been shattered and an 11-year-old boy was found inside.


The boy stated that he broke into the store with a hammer in hopes of finding something to eat. However, when the police searched his backpack, they discovered an electronic pod and no food. Surveillance footage revealed that the boy reached his hand through a hole in the front door and used a hammer to open it. He then walked behind the counter, climbed onto a chair, and placed an electronic cigarette case into his backpack.


Miles Sullivan, a resident of South Boston, expressed concern about a child's involvement in illegal activities, specifically the use of e-cigarettes. As the child is too young to face criminal charges, the police informed the parents and requested support services for the child and their family.

The proposal says the current “lack of control” in commercialisation facilitates tax evasion and breaches existing health and environmental rules.
