Seekonk Armed Robbery

On Wednesday, December 13, 2023, around 10:20pm, multiple police units were dispatched to Winn’s Liquors (21 Brook Street, Seekonk, MA) for the report of an armed robbery in progress. Police were informed that a white male, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, was threatening the clerk with a knife.

The suspect physically assaulted the clerk and robbed the store of an unknown amount of cash, liquor and cigarettes.

The first arriving officer was able to observe the suspect fleeing the area, on foot, and gave chase. Seekonk officers were able to locate the suspect in the yard of a nearby residence, where they held him at gunpoint, as the suspect was still armed with the knife, holding it in his hand. Officers gave verbal commands to the suspect, where he eventually complied, and was taken into custody without further incident. The stolen property from the liquor store was recovered at the scene of arrest.
