This week in Allston!

Our posting lagged this week, but, for interest's sake, crime didn't. Let's see what our trouble-making townsfolk were up to this week:

- A college community mourned on 3/22 as Allston said goodbye to three more drug dealers. The men were arrested on the corner of Brighton and Cambridge Streets. If their girlfriends had taught them anything, it should've been to NOT conduct business on a street corner.

- Police got lucky on 3/20, when they stopped a male who looked like a suspect from another crime. Though he wasn't their guy, a little touchy-touchy produced a bag of greenstuffs. "I'm not going to lie; it's weed," replied the 25-year-old.

- Police arrested a 30-year-old male on Ashford Street on 3/20 for looking into peoples' windows. Our advice worked!

- A taxi driver was arrested while dumpster diving for used car parts behind an automotive warehouse on Cambridge Street. He is suspected of stealing during business and hiding his finds in the dumpster. His excuse? He was "trying to pee." If only he were stealing a GPS, THEN we'd rally behind him.

Ohh, and people were arrested for drug possession; someone was robbed at knifepoint; and a man with an arrest warrant ran from the cops. Yawn.
