By the end of January, Bartlett confessed to using a realistic looking BB gun to hold up a subway sandwich shop, a couple of convenience stores as well as a Chinese food delivery driver. When Bartlett struck a convenience store on Hope Street just north of Camp Avenue and demanded Newports, police knew they had their guy and threw out the net. Right after the convenience store robbery on upper Hope Street in late January, police kept an eye on Bartlett’s neighborhood.
