15-Year-Old Arrested in Connection with Torched Boston Police Cruiser

A Boston teen is facing charges of arson and inciting a riot after FBI agents identified him from an online photo.

The charges were filed against the unidentified 15-year-old on Friday, one day after Boston police took him into custody in nearby Framingham, investigators say. The incident in question occurred on May 31st after “two Boston police officers responded to a call for assistance and parked their vehicle in the area of the Beantown Pub near Suffolk University,” according to an FBI report. “Shortly thereafter, several individuals vandalized the cruiser, breaking its windows, and eventually setting it on fire.”

Earlier this week, the FBI released a photo agents found online. It showed two young men posing by a burned Boston Police Department cruiser.
