Braintree man charged with brick break-in at Newbury Street boutique

Boston Police report arresting one of the two men they say used a brick to smash their way into Valentino, 47 Newbury St. early Monday and made off with a variety of high-priced Italian women's items.

Police say they had identified a "vehicle of interest" in the smash-in and that around 4:15 p.m. on Friday, D-4 officers on patrol spotted it on Melnea Cass Boulevard just before the intersection with Massachusetts Avenue, stopped it and arrested the driver, at first for various driving violations and for narcotics found in his possession, but also for the burglary, police say.

Wayne O’Keefe, 50, of Braintree, was charged with breaking and entering, driving without a license, driving an unregistered vehicle and possession of both Class A and Class B drugs, police say.

Innocent, etc.
