A Framingham man will be summoned to court after he admitted to stealing a $4,000, one-of-a-kind bong from an Old Connecticut Path home on Oct. 16, police said

Lucas Torres, 18, of 6 Mill St., will be summoned to appear in Framingham District Court at an undetermined date. Police charged Torres with breaking and entering, larceny from a building and larceny of property worth more than $250, the MetroWest Daily News reported.


Police began an investigation into the theft on Oct. 16. The homeowner told police that someone broke into his home and stole the bong, police spokesman Lt. Stephen Cronin said. The bong, the homeowner said, had been handmade in Japan.



He said that whoever stole it must have known its value.

Then, on Oct. 18, a drunk Torres went to the Framingham Police station and admitted to the theft, police said.

"He came to the station and said, 'I'm here to turn myself in,'" said Cronin. "His speech was thick and slurred, and he was trying to confess to something."

Due to Torres' level of intoxication, it was difficult for police to understand what he was trying to confess to. Torres used his phone to show the officers a MetroWest Daily News article about the break-in and bong theft and said he was responsible, Cronin said.

Torres said he knew the bong was worth a lot of money because someone he knew told him about it. He refused to say who told him, the lieutenant said.

Police went to Torres' Mill Street home to get the bong, and they found it outside on the front stairs.

Torres' arraignment date is not set.
