FRAMINGHAM A local man is facing firearm charges after a Christmas Day arrest that started with a vandalism investigation and involved a stolen vehicle, authorities said.
Police arrested Edwin Oliveras, 18, at 7:10 a.m. Friday at the Monticello Motel on Rte. 9, police spokeswoman Lt. Patricia Grigas said Monday.
Police initially went to the area for a report of a possible broken window due to vandalism. When they arrived, the person who called said nothing was damaged.
“He was concerned about two males that entered one of the rooms by climbing in the back window at the Monticello,” Grigas said.
Around the same time, police discovered a stolen vehicle in an adjacent parking lot. One of the men fled the hotel and jumped into the stolen vehicle and drove off as a tow truck arrived to take it, the lieutenant said.
