Walmart in Quincy robbed?

Quincy looks to have been hit with an uptick of troubling incidents in recent days.

First up, per a Quincy Quarry News Citizen Police Scanner Monitor, Quincy’s Walmart was apparently hit with an armed robbery last night shortly after sunset. 

So far, however, further particulars are limited to radio chatter about the germane police call(s), the possibility of charges of at least armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon as well as that police have apparently already been tasked to gather up copies of store security video.

Also troubling, earlier this week a Quincy Asian female over a certain age was allegedly kidnapped Saturday morning last weekend at the Wollaston MBTA station parking lot. 

The woman was then said to have been repeatedly sexually assaulted before she was cut loose in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Brockton roughly eleven hours later and then transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center.

While the purported perv was quickly arrested, this violent incident has cast a pallor over long assumed to be safe at least northerly parts of Quincy.

Additionally, also from the Quarry’s police scanner monitor comes word of a recent and apparently joint law enforcement task force bust of a suspected drug dealer at a Hancock Street convenience in the vicinity of the Wollaston Roman Catholic church.

No word of any police reports of this midday bust, however.

And finally, Quincy Quarry has yet to uncover any official word as to why Southern Artery at McGrath Highway was closed to vehicular traffic for at least several hours two Friday nights ago during a heavy and relatively early in the evening rainfall.

Whatever it was that happened resulted in vehicular traffic along the artery all but assuredly subjected to an unprecedented detouring through both Roxy’s as well as Stop and Shop’s parking lots.

In response to this incident, not only did multiple police cruisers and at least a couple of ambulances roll to the scene, a Quincy fire truck was parked such that it blocked traffic from traveling along the Southern Artery. at the scene

Absent any signs of serious damage done to motor vehicles, one can only reasonably assume that perhaps a pedestrian or pedestrians was or were struck; however, as well again, not word is available as to what caused the massive first responder response and extended detouring of traffic on a major local thoroughfare.
