18 Year Old Shot During Theft of Dirt Bike
Worcester, MA (August 23, 2015) - On Saturday, August 22, 2015 at approximately 1:03 AM, Worcester Police responded to a Woodford Street address for a report of an Armed Robbery with shots fired. Upon the officers arrival they met with several people, one of them an 18 year-old male suffering from a single gunshot wound to his leg.
The officer was approached by a 22-year-old male robbery victim. This male informed the officer that he was coming home to his apartment, walking up his driveway, approaching the rear of his house when he observed a male dressed in dark clothing. The male was walking towards him pushing the victim’s dirt bike. The male told the officer that his dirt bike was being stored in his back yard. When the victim spotted the male trying to steal his dirt bike he took out his cellphone and illuminated him with the phone’s flashlight. The suspect immediately pulled out a hand gun from his waistband, pointed it at the victim and demanded the victim’s belongings.
After robbing the victim, the suspect continued to push the dirt bike down the driveway and into the street. The suspect attempted to kick start the bike. A neighbor observed the male trying to start the bike. The neighbor realized that the bike was his neighbors and was in the process of being stolen. The neighbor confronted the suspect; the suspect fired a shot into the air. The neighbor backed off.
The suspect began to push the dirt bike down Woodland Street when he was confronted by more neighbors who had heard the shot fired. The suspect fired more shots. The 18-year-old neighbor was hit in the leg. The suspect fled the area still pushing the dirt bike.
The victim was transported to a local hospital and treated for a non-life threatening injury.
Several officers arrived at the scene. The search for the suspect provided negative results. Officers did locate and recover the dirt bike.
