Boston authorities say they’re addressing violence in the city head-on this summer, particularly through a focused, proactive approach on apprehending individuals they say are responsible for violent crime.
As city officials detailed public safety plans ahead of a much-anticipated summer season Wednesday, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins told reporters her office recently approved arrest warrants for “approximately 40 to 50 individuals that are driving some of the violence in our most impacted communities.”
“We have arrest warrants for 40 to 50 people that we believe have been driving the crime,” Rollins said in response to a follow-up question. “So now [comes] the hard work. We’ve got the easy part. The Boston police now are going to be going out and finding all of those individuals. They know very well who they are. So we expect to have several arraignments coming up in the near future.”
