Thief Carjacks Limousine At Dorchester Wedding
DORCHESTER (CBS) - Boston Police are still looking for the thief who carjacked a limousine during a wedding in Dorchester Saturday.
Investigators say the man had just broken into a home on Howes Street when he ran into the limo, which was parked outside Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Church on Columbia Road around 1:30 p.m.
"The suspect opened the door to the car, threw two bags into the car and demanded that the victim "start driving!" The victim initially refused to do the suspect's bidding and a struggle ensued," Boston Police said in a statement.
"During this struggle the victim was punched several times and was eventually thrown out of the limousine. After forcing the victim/driver out of the car, the suspect went on to order several members of the bridal party who were in the back of the limousine out of the car."
The thief drove off in the limo, but crashed into a mail truck and eventually abandoned it in South Boston.
A replacement limousine was brought in for the wedding party.
The limo driver described the thief as a white, non-Hispanic man, about 40 years old, 6 feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds with a medium build.
