According to police, Cincotti was working as a subcontractor at the Wayland Hills Road home when the homeowners went out of town for the weekend. Police say Cincotti entered the home at night through an unlocked door and proceeded to steal jewelry and other items. The homeowners reported the items missing when they returned home.

Pawn sheets from shops in Somerville and Boston led police to Cincotti, a former Wayland resident who is known to police, Berger said.
Berger said Wayland Det. Ruth Backman discovered jewelry items on the pawn sheets that appeared similar to items reported stolen. The homeowner then helped identify "numerous" items from the pawnshops.
