Suspect Arrested In Cambridge Nail Salon Armed Robbery, Somerville Carjacking

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) -- A man who allegedly showed a gun and demanded money at a nail salon in Cambridge last week before carjacking a woman in Somerville is now under arrest.

Dennis Kelley, 43, of Cambridge was arrested on warrants of armed robbery and armed carjacking Tuesday morning.

Police say Kelley "showed a gun and demanded money" at Super Nails on Cambridge Street last Thursday, and then ran away with cash and a cell phone. He later went to a nearby McDonald's in Somerville, where he carjacked a woman in the parking lot.

Officials say Kelley abandoned the car in Somerville near the railroad tracks off McGrath Highway and fled on foot again.
