The Boston Police Department is currently investigating an armed robbery where two young suspects targeted a children's lemonade stand on Wednesday afternoon.

波士頓警察局目前正在調查一起持械搶劫案，兩名年輕嫌犯於週三下午針對一個兒童檸檬水攤販。

The incident happened around 4:44 p.m. at 157 West 9th Street. According to police reports, the two suspects drove past the stand several times to check the area before approaching the children to ask if they accepted Apple Pay. This was a distraction that allowed them to steal a cash box containing about $50. During the robbery, one suspect showed a black handgun in his waistband. The suspects are described as juveniles: one dark-skinned male around 14 years old and one light-skinned male around 11 years old, both wearing full-face masks known as 'sheisties.'

事件發生於下午 4 時 44 分左右，地點在西第九街 157 號。根據警方報告，兩名嫌犯在接近兒童之前，多次開車經過攤販以確認周圍情況，隨後詢問他們是否接受 Apple Pay。這是一個分散注意力的手段，讓他們得以偷走一個內含約 50 美元的現金盒。搶劫過程中，其中一名嫌犯在腰間露出一把黑色手槍。嫌犯被描述為青少年：一名約 14 歲的深膚色男性和一名約 11 歲的淺膚色男性，兩人均配戴稱為 "sheisties" 的全臉面罩。

Local leaders have reacted differently to the event. City Councilor Ed Flynn emphasized that this crime is a violation of childhood innocence. Furthermore, he argued that this incident proves Mayor Michelle Wu is wrong to claim that Boston is the safest major city in the U.S. Consequently, Flynn called for more police officers and stronger community policing. Meanwhile, the victims' family reported that the children are suffering from significant emotional distress, although local neighbors have already helped them prepare to reopen the stand this Friday.

當地領袖對此事件反應不一。市議員 Ed Flynn 強調，這起犯罪是對童心純真的褻瀆。此外，他主張此事件證明市長 Michelle Wu 聲稱波士頓是美國最安全大城市的說法是錯誤的。因此，Flynn 呼籲增加更多警員並加強社區警務。與此同時，受害者家屬表示，孩子們正承受著巨大的心理壓力，不過當地鄰居已協助他們準備於本週五重新開啟攤販。

The suspects have not yet been caught, and the investigation continues even though there is no useful security camera footage from the area.

嫌犯尚未被逮捕，儘管該地區沒有有用的監視器畫面，但調查仍在繼續。
