Police searching for teens who allegedly broke into Framingham smoke shop

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Police are searching for five teens who allegedly broke into a Framingham smoke shop early Tuesday morning.

According to Framingham police, officers received a call around 4:46 a.m. for reports of a break-in at the Framingham Vape & Smoke on Worcester Rd.

Initial investigation shows that most of the juveniles wearing hoodies broke a window with a rock, and stole products out of the shop. Police tell Boston 25 News that these suspected minors were both boys and girls.

Police say about $1,000 was stolen in products and the teens also attempted to break open the register and steal money.

This latest robbery follows similar ones seen in East Boston and West Roxbury in the past month.

“This has definitely become something that has picked up in the recent past,” said Framingham Police Deputy Chief Sean Riley.

Anyone with information on this break-in is asked to contact police.
