Two North Kingstown men suspected of robbing the Citizens Bank on West Shore Road in Warwick on Friday are now facing charges of second-degree robbery and conspiracy after being taken into custody by North Kingstown Police over the weekend.

Michael Watts, 25; and Andrew Feinstein, 26, allegedly robbed the bank Friday morning — one of them walked into the bank and passed a note to the teller demanding cash.

Watts was arrested on Friday night and was later released from the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston on $50,000 bail.

Feinstein was also charged with possession of heroin after detectives executed two search warrants and found drugs in addition to cash connected to the robbery. He is being held at the ACI as a bail violator. Court records show he was out on bail pending a Superior Court felony arraignment in January for a Cranston police charge of narcotics possession and tampering with a motor vehicle. He is due to return to court on Jan. 12 for a bail violation hearing.
