Like all security cameras do, they can find the criminal after the crime. Seems to do little to prevent it. Sad to see that my Alma Mater was vandalized.   more ›

Mug Shots Released Of Break In Suspects

The three are accused in connection to a break in on Middle Road last Friday morning that prompted an extensive manhunt of the area.

Police released mug shots of the three suspects in last Friday morning's break in at 1895 Middle Road, but little new information. All three are charged with felonies. Det. Sergeant Jon Chirnside said the news release issued Wednesday was "purposely" generic because it is "an ongoing investigation, which we do not want to compromise." As was reported yesterday, Ryan G. Callahan, 26, formerly of West Warwick, has been charged with breaking and entering, conspiracy to commit breaking and entering, receiving stolen goods, driving without consent of the owner, operating on a suspended license. He was arraigned at the Kent County Courthouse Tuesday. Bail was set at $5,000 with surety. He was held without bail because he's a Superior Court bail…

Robbery Suspect Still At Large

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 …

I imagine many of us are thinking that since this is EG that it couldn't happen here. It should be a lesson to of us that we are never completely safe from something like this no matter where we live. I am really glad the girl was unharmed and didn't actually have to confront the person who broke into the house.   more ›
