Boston Blotter: Baby On Board

--In Everett, 26-year-old Stacy Russo robbed an apartment – and she took her baby along for the ride.

She used her own daughter's baby carriage has a handy place to stash her ill-gotten gains. But the baby was in the carriage at the time and probably didn't appreciate having to share her space with a bunch of extra stuff. Russo then took her baby for a wild ride to a Dunkin' Donuts, where police caught her.

DSS has custody of the baby now. The victim, an elderly woman, said she hopes the mother gets some help. She could use it.

--After the wave of gang arrests, it feels good to get back to basic, old-school robbery. We got a tip about some thieves with very simple needs – rum and lotto. In Somerville, two guys busted through Downtown Liquors and swiped 38 scratch tickets and two bottles of rum Monday night.

Our tipster wondered if the burglars had Curt Schilling in mind when they struck Downtown Liquors. But the number wasn't especially lucky for them because they got caught. One of them apparently broke through the store glass with his bare hands because he left his blood all over the place.

--A dog attack happened in Falmouth yesterday. Wait before you start blaming the pit bulls – the dogs in question were Rottweilers. They somehow escaped from their yard, which happened to be next door to an elementary school playground. (Are owners allowed to keep Rottweilers next door to an elementary school?)

The Rottweilers were in a foul mood and bit three third-graders and a teacher's aide. No one knows yet how the dogs got out.

--Unfortunately, the gunplay hasn't stopped. Last night, someone fired shots at a passing car in Dorchester. Police rounded him up because the victims saw him aim, fire, and walk back into an apartment. Apparently the suspect became agitated because the car passed his home a few too many times for his liking.
