BOSTON – Two Hanover and Marshfield men were arrested after Boston officers responded to a report of a robbery on Washington Street, police said.
James Cirafice, 20, of Hanover, was charged with unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, theft of a building and possession with intent to distribute Class D substances, police said.
Ian Woodward, 23, of Marshfield, was arrested on three active warrants, police said.
At approximately 3:45 p.m. Friday, officers responded to the area of 283 Washington St. to report a robbery in progress. Officers received a description of the suspect and began canvassing the area, police said.
Officers were able to locate the suspect, who was accompanied by a second suspect, police said. The two suspects were seen eating items from the restaurant that reported the robbery.
Officers saw a backpack next to the suspects and conducted a “backpack search.” Police said officers immediately recovered a firearm and handcuffed the two suspects, later identified as Cirafice and Woodward.
The firearm was later determined to be a Polymer 80 P80 Glock 17-style “ghost gun,” police said.
Cirafice and Woodward are expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
