Six People Walked Up 52 Floors of an Unfinished Tower and Nobody Stopped Them?
Boston police want help identifying the group. Dez has one question for the building: who left that door unlocked?
By Dez Marlowe ·
Six people walked up 52 floors of South Station Tower. The unfinished one. Over the train station.
Police say it happened Sept. 7. Four went in through the parking garage around 6:38 p.m., through an unlocked service door, and up the stairs. Two more followed, and police say one covered a camera with a jacket. They stayed up there 45 to 90 minutes, then walked out toward Amtrak.
The jacket move? Bold. But the real question is the door. Unlocked. On a 52-story construction site. Nobody stopped them for 52 floors.
No charges yet. Police want help: District A-1 detectives, 617-343-4571, or anonymous tips at 1-800-494-8477.
