Irish Tourist Charged With Boston Cannoli Theft Sep 14th 2012, 14:09 A tourist from Ireland apparently couldn't wait to get his hands on an Italian pastry in Boston. Prosecutors say just hours after 25-year-old Robert McTernan landed in Boston for a two-week vacation, he entered a bakery in the North End, a largely Italian neighborhood. They say he grabbed a knife and demanded a cannoli from an employee. The worker at Bova's Bakery handed McTernan the pastry made from creamy ricotta cheese wrapped in a crunchy shell, then called police at about 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Officers found the Newbridge, Ireland, resident in the kitchen and arrested him on an armed robbery charge. Police could not find the knife. McTernan pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. He was granted $2,000 bail and ordered to surrender his passport.
