Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports the owner of a Comm. Ave. shop that sells high-quality bongs nailed one of the men who allegedly stole several of them by posting photos on Facebook - which resulted in tips leading to a Saugus man - with tattoos showing on his own Facebook page that matched those seen on surveillance video.

The suspect's facebook page

The suspect's facebook page contained pictures taken at his joint with the stash, and they yielded many positive hits to the perpetrator's image. There is a high likelihood that he is the same man. They smoked him out of hiding - real shotgun justice.
