Summary
$50 in cash was stolen from a South Boston lemonade stand Wednesday after two boys approached the sibling-run setup and one showed a black firearm in his waistband, police said.
Police responded around 4:45 p.m. and said the suspects had passed the stand several times before asking whether the children took Apple Pay and then grabbing the cash box and fleeing.
The children described one suspect as a dark-skinned male about 14 and the other as a light-skinned male about 11; both were said to be wearing Nike face coverings.
Street cameras were not pointed toward the scene, complicating the investigation, as City Councilor Ed Flynn called the robbery disturbing and neighbors organized to help the children reopen Friday.
