Car break ins continue: Someone called police to report a man was breaking into cars along King Street near Crown Street around 1:49 a.m. A man told dispatch that he had witnessed a guy open and get in a white
SUV at the corner of King and Crown streets, and then leave on foot toward the dead end of
King street. Police said the reporting party told them he woke up to the sound of a loud muffler and looked out of his window, where he saw a white male walking down Crown Street. He was unable to give a
description other than that the male was "skinny and lanky." The guy walked down Crown
street, and entered the driveway of someone on King street. The man stated he saw the guy crouch down next to a CRV, and then the lights came on inside of the car, opened the door and looked around before shutting the door and walking away. Police couldn't find anything when they arrived.

Bike gone: A Warwick street resident reported that in a 20 minute span of time someone stole bicycle which had been locked to her front porch. The thief ripped one of the railings off of her porch in order to steal the bike. The officer noted he took a report for a bike theft in the same neighborhood earlier that day.
