This story is about a gold purchasing scheme in Boston. The scheme involved two men who allegedly stole gold items that were brought to them to be evaluated and then sold the items without the owner’s consent.

The two men, Robert Avitabile and Rocco Sapienza, were charged with larceny and receiving stolen property. They were allegedly running a gold purchasing business in Boston where customers would bring in their gold items to be evaluated and potentially sold. However, instead of returning the items to the customers, Avitabile and Sapienza would allegedly pawn or sell the items for profit without the customer’s knowledge.

Police began investigating the scheme after receiving multiple complaints from customers who claimed that their items were not returned to them after being evaluated. Investigators were able to track down the stolen items and charged Avitabile and Sapienza in connection with the theft.

The Boston Police Department is urging anyone who may have been a victim of this scheme to come forward and report their missing items. They advise customers to be cautious when dealing with gold purchasing businesses and to always get a receipt or documentation for any items left for evaluation.
