Father-Son Duo to be Arraigned After Antiques Show Theft

For nearly three months detectives from the Holliston Police Department have been trying to track down whoever stole a van and the antiques inside it from Holliston High School.

The robbers reportedly planned their robbery during an antiques show on Feb. 24; they stole a van and many antiques that were being stored in it during the show.

"The van was then driven a short distance where many of the antiques were transferred to a rental car," A release from the Police Chief John Moore said. "The majority of the antiques were discarded on the side of the road in Holliston."

On Feb. 28, a Barnstable detective called Holliston's Detective Chuck Todd to report that during a narcotics investigation the detective had developed information that implicated the suspect and his father in the antiques larceny.

Police are seeking a summons to charge the father and son from Cape Cod, whose names have not yet been release, with larceny of a motor vehicle and larceny over $250. They will be arraigned in the Framingham District Court in the near future.

"This case represents the investigative abilities of law enforcement when information is expeditiously sent out, when officers are aware of all potential clues to unsolved crimes and we work collectively to apprehend and prosecute offenders," Moore said.
