At about 5:13 PM on Sunday, July 12, 2026, officers assigned to District A-7 (East Boston) responded to a radio call for a vandalism in progress in the area of 279 Sumner Street in East Boston.

While enroute, officers received information via Boston Police Operations that the suspect was using a wooden pole to smash various car windows in the area.

Upon arrival, officers located an individual matching the description of the suspect in the area of the aforementioned location. Officers further observed the individual carrying a wooden stick. The suspect was taken into custody.

Officers spoke to individuals at the scene who reported that the suspect had grabbed a wooden stick, used to support recently planted trees in the neighborhood, to damage several parked cars, smashing multiple windows and side mirrors as well as scratching and denting the vehicles. Additionally, officers located a cinderblock at the scene that was apparently used to smash through the glass on the vehicles.

During the booking process, officers located a United States Permanent Resident Card and a Social Security Card with false information that did not match the suspect’s identification.

Officers arrested Revanth Kumar Mahesh, 27-years-old, of Roxbury. Mahesh is expected to be arraigned in East Boston District Court on various charges including Forgery.
