Suspected Package Thief Nabbed By Police Cadet During Boston Police Holiday Toy Delivery
At approximately 11:45 AM on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, Officers assigned to District C-6 (South Boston) arrested 34-year-old Kerri Flynn of South Boston for multiple larceny-related offenses, thanks to the sharp eye of a Boston Police Cadet.
Officers from C-6 were in the middle of spreading holiday cheer, delivering toys to children across South Boston, when the Cadet spotted Flynn—a suspected package thief whose escapades had earned her notoriety among concerned locals.
Further investigation confirmed Flynn’s identity and revealed two bags stuffed with unopened packages in her possession. A database query also revealed several outstanding warrants for her arrest on charges of shoplifting and receiving stolen property.
Flynn was promptly taken into custody and is expected to be arraigned in South Boston Court on charges of Larceny from a Building.
