Revere Police make arrest in armed robbery of convenience store

On Friday, April 5, 2024, multiple felony charges were filed against a Revere resident, Jaquan Barrows, 26, for an armed robbery that occurred at the Wonderland Convenience Store located at 1247 North Shore Rd. on March 29, 2024. He was arrested by the Major Crimes Unit of the Revere Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID), along with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force.

According to Revere Police, an execution of a search warrant by detectives recovered a loaded 9mm handgun along with a high-capacity magazine and 14 rounds of ammunition. Investigators believe this to be the weapon used during the robbery. In addition, Detectives recovered clothing matching the description of articles worn during the robbery.

Barrows is also the suspect in two other incidents that occurred recently in Everett: one armed robbery and an attempted armed robbery. Barrows was arraigned last week in Chelsea District Court on several charges, including Armed Robbery while Masked, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, Possession of a Firearm without an FID Card and Illegal Possession of a High-Capacity Round Magazine.

“The relentless efforts of the Revere Police Department and our Law Enforcement partners showcases their professionalism and dedication to upholding the safety of our community,” stated Police Chief David J. Callahan.
