Hard work, clues and good luck help police to make arrests in both an attempted break in on Frenchtown Road and an armed robbery at Sunnybrook Farms, he says.
It was a terrifying few minutes for a girl in a house alone on Frenchtown Road Monday afternoon. East Greenwich Police Chief Tom Coyle told Town Council members Thursday night just what took place during both that aborted Frenchtown break Monday and an armed robbery at Sunnybrook Farm on Main Street Tuesday night. According to Coyle, when the doorbell rang at the house on Frenchtown Road west of Tillinghast, the girl (whose age has not been released except to say that she’s under 15) looked out. When she didn’t recognize the man at the door, she called her mother and hid in a bathroom. While on the phone with her daughter, the mother used another phone to call police.

Sunnybrook Farms owner says the robbery is first in 22 years of ownership.
East Greenwich Police Chief Tom Coyle said they are “working on a suspect” in the armed robbery Tuesday night of the Sunnybrook Farms convenience store on Main Street. The suspect, around 18 to 20 years old, held up a lone store clerk Tuesday around 9:30 p.m., according to police. On Wednesday, store owner Mike DiRaimo said he had not yet figured out how much was taken. DiRaimo said this was the first time in 22 years of ownership that a robbery — armed or otherwise — had taken place. “Once we caught some kids taking candy bars. That’s the extent of it,” he said. The clerk, he said, has worked at the store for eight years and did not recognize the man, who was captured on videotape by a surveillance camera. "Most of our customers are …
