Boston College and its surrounding neighborhood experienced a number of unrelated robberies in the past two weeks, corresponding with the University's move-in period.

 

On Aug. 26, officers responded to a report of a past armed robbery of two BC students in the University-owned 2000 Commonwealth Ave. apartments.

 

According to a report from the Allston Brighton Tab, the students told officers that they encountered two men, one wielding a handgun and the other with pepper spray, upon entering a BC student's apartment at 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 25. The two men allegedly stole a cell phone and marijuana.

 

On Sept. 1, BC Police Department (BCPD) detectives later arrested Matthew Marzullo and his alleged accomplice Charles Schoch in connection with the incident. The duo is charged with armed robbery and each is being held on $100,000 bail. The two suspects are due to be arraigned in Brighton District Court on Sept. 28.

 

In a separate incident, BCPD officers detained Travis McCormack, CSOM '11, as he was caught allegedly entering two Mods illegally.

 

McCormack was charged with breaking and entering and is due in Brighton District Court on Sept. 20.
