Quincy police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect they describe as armed and dangerous, warning residents not to step in themselves as detectives work an ongoing criminal investigation.

Instead, anyone with information is urged to contact Detective James Menz at (617) 745-5768. Police have not released a physical description of the suspect or specified the exact location tied to the ongoing investigation.
