Police Seek Suspects in Robbery, Beating of Parking Enforcement Officer

– Allison Goldsberry

Medford Police are seeking two suspects they say beat and robbed a parking enforcement officer on Wednesday night.

The incident happened on Capen Street at 10 PM. According to a police press release, the parking enforcement officer said two white males in their 20’s called out to him and then punched him, knocking him to the ground. He was hit again before the suspects took his money and fled toward Winthrop Street.

Police call the incident a “crime of opportunity” and don’t think the parking enforcement officer was targeted because of his position.

Anyone with information about the incident should call the Medford Police Detectives at 781-391-6765. Tips can also be submitted online or via text.
