The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police Department.

Officer John Curley was dispatched to a drug violation in progress in the northwest parking lot of the Jamestown Apartments at 1809 Warwick Ave. at approximately 9:51 p.m. on April 11. Curley said he was informed that a silver Bonneville had been parked outside for the past two hours and the occupant had appeared to be injecting narcotics. Curley said when he arrived, he parked behind the vehicle, observing a single male inside. He said he approached the vehicle and made contact with the male, asking if he was OK and what he was doing, but he said the man just looked at him and began laughing. Curley said he observed the man’s speech to be slurred and his eyes to be bloodshot and watery. He also observed the man to be visibly impaired, and in plain view he could see a spoon with a hardened white substance located on it, as well as a syringe on the passenger seat in the front compartment of the vehicle, which he knew to be commonly used when injecting heroin. Curley said he asked the man to exit the vehicle, searched him and conducted checks on him, which came back with five active bench warrants for his arrest. Corey J. Belmore, 26, of 200 Post Road, Apt. 615, Warwick was immediately placed in handcuffs. At that time, Curley said another officer arrived on scene. When Curley asked Belmore if there were any narcotics left in the vehicle, he said, “No, I already shot them all.” Curley said a vehicle search turned up a small gray container, known as a grinder and used for grinding marijuana, with a green, leafy-like substance inside, which later field tested positive for marijuana (3 grams), as well as a small white baggie with a white powder-like substance inside, which later field tested positive for heroine (.03 grams). Belmore was transported to Warwick Police Department headquarters, where he was fingerprinted and processed. Due to the warrants and possession of the Schedule I through V drugs, Curley said he was held for the next session with the bail commissioner and later transported to the ACI. Belmore was given a violation for possession of marijuana, 1 ounce or less, with a court date to appear at the R.I. Traffic Tribunal.

STOLEN WALLET

Officer Adam Arico was dispatched to Warwick police headquarters at 4 p.m. on April 12 to meet with a party regarding a stolen wallet. The woman told him she had arrived at work at Piezoni’s, located at 3335 Post Road, where she manages the restaurant, and placed her black Coach wristlet wallet on the counter next to the cash register. At some point during the day, she said the wristlet was taken. She said it contained her R.I. driver’s license, her Citizens Bank debit/credit card, two un-cashed paychecks, and approximately $120 in cash. She said the wristlet is valued at $100. She told Arico there are no interior or exterior surveillance cameras at the Piezoni’s restaurant and she was unsure of who may have taken the wristlet. She said she does not suspect any of her co-workers. She said she does wish to press charges if the person responsible is apprehended.

VEHICLE LARCENIES

Officer Damian Andrews responded to 45 Dawson Ave. at approximately 5:48 a.m. on April 19 for the report of a larceny from a motor vehicle. Andrews met with the victim, who said when he woke up earlier that morning around 5:30, he discovered his car had been accessed and some items had been stolen. The man said he left his car unlocked and his wallet was inside the glove compartment. Items taken included his wallet, license, Webster Bank ATM debit card, Chase Visa, a Bank of America card, an American Express card, and about $200 in cash. He said he wishes to press charges if the subject is found. The man told Andrews he parked his vehicle around 8:30 the night before. Andrews said he canvassed the rest of the street and noticed two more vehicles that had been gone through, both belonging to one owner. The man who owned them told Andrews the glove compartments were gone through in both vehicles, but the only thing that was taken was a bag of change and quarters totaling $10. Andrews said that man did not wish to make a complaint. Andrews said no other vehicles on the street were gone through.

MISSING PHONE

Officer Kevin McGuire Jr. was dispatched to the Chuck E. Cheese at 650 Bald Hill Road at approximately 8:06 p.m. on April 19 for a report of a larceny of a cell phone. McGuire met with the reporting party, who told him he came to Chuck E. Cheese with his son. He said he walked in the front door and after about two minutes, picked up his son off of a ride and believed that his phone dropped off his belt, where it was clipped on his waist in a black case. The man said he realized about three minutes later that the phone was no longer clipped to his belt and he retraced his steps but was unable to locate the phone. He said that when he called the phone, it had already been turned off. He described it as an iPhone 6 Plus in a black case (T-Mobile service) valued at approximately $800. McGuire said he reviewed the surveillance footage with the store manager but no footage could be seen of anyone taking the phone or the phone being dropped in the establishment.

BIKE TAKEN

Officer Randy Francis responded to the lobby of Warwick police headquarters at approximately 11:30 a.m. on April 14 for a report of a stolen bicycle. Francis met with the reporting party, who said on April 10 he arrived at his work inside the Macy’s Department store at 400 Bald Hill Road. At approximately 9:10 p.m., he said he noticed his bicycle was missing. It was described as a Specialized Sirrus graphite colored, small-framed bike. Prior to starting his workday, the man said he placed his bicycle in the front portion of the Macy’s Department store unsecured. He said that on April 9, an unidentified person tampered with his lock, making it inoperable. The man said he attempted to view the surveillance tapes from security in an attempt to identify the person who took his bike, but the video was grainy, making any attempt to identify anyone difficult. There were no suspects or witnesses.
