SHOPLIFTING
Officer Christopher Lo reported going to the Kohl’s store in the Rhode Island Mall on Oct. 30 to take custody of a shoplifting suspect.

Alicia Galluccio, 33, of 6 Terre Marr Dr. in West Warwick was taken to headquarters where she told police she was pregnant and wanted to go to the hospital. Lo said they called Warwick Rescue but after they arrived, Galluccio changed her mind and said she would wait. Lo said she signed a waiver saying she turned down the transport. She was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting and later released with a summons for District Court.

STOLEN CAR
A Warwick patrolman was sent to Prince Street around 9 a.m. on Oct. 27 for a report of a stolen car. The patrolman took the information about the car, but the victim said she did not know the registration number because the car had recently been bought by her father. Officer Raymond Cox reported that he met with the victim’s father at headquarters later and got the plate number and other information about the 2001 silver Honda. He told Cox there were no keys in the car when it was stolen. He also told Cox he would press charges if the perpetrator were caught. No suspects or witnesses.

He said he looked in the back seat and saw that his laptop case was missing. He said the bag contained an $850 Dell Inspiron laptop and several accessories and the case itself cost around $300.

On Oct. 24, Officer Fortier reported that two drain covers had gone missing from the Target Plaza on Bald Hill Road.

BROKEN DOOR
