Sh!tbags Of The Week: Weapon shown during South Boston lemonade stand robbery, police say.
BOSTON —
Boston police are investigating after a weapon was shown during the robbery of a lemonade stand in South Boston on Wednesday.
An 11-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy were selling lemonade at 157 West Ninth St. when they noticed two juveniles walking past the stand several times. The victims said the pair approached and asked if they could use Apple Pay to purchase a drink.
Before the victims could answer, they said the pair grabbed a box of cash that had about $50.
"Suspect #1 displayed a black firearm in his waistband before running off," according to the police report.

OTOH, it's a lesson to keep your cash close. A friend was robbed at her yard sale—over $200—cuz she was chatting with customers & her husband went into the house.
