HINGHAM (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A 15-year-old’s good detective skills helped police nab three people who are accused of robbing the teen’s father.
Just before 1 P.M. on Tuesday afternoon, Griffin Moriarty saw two men walking down the street with bags that looked familiar.
“I saw two guys walking by, and one had a Shawmut bag, the company my dad used to work for,” said Moriarty, “I immediately saw that. The other guy had a Nike bag.”
The high school freshman decided to draw a picture of what he saw.
“I know you lose your memory of what you saw within 20 minutes, you’re so busy,” says Moriarty.
Griffin then told his mom, who was in the shower at the time.
The teen’s mother told Griffin to check on his father’s nearby home. When he arrived, Griffin saw a shatter door and called the police.
Police were able to arrest two men, Robert Newell and Mark Rose, a few blocks away. They also arrested a female, Tracey Methe, who is accused of being the look out.
All three are facing a number of charges. Investigators say the two men have a long criminal history stemming from similar arrests.
His parents are certainly proud of him, but Griffin simply tells FOX 25 that it isn’t a big deal.
Ummmmmmm...a little familiar huh? Get this Hingham Hero to Mobile by March 17th or you'll never get an accurate account of the Leprechaun.
