A man wanted in connection with a robbery and carjacking in Cranston has been taken into custody in Connecticut.

Jerry Cintron, 33, was arrested at the Walmart store in Lisbon, Conn., without incident on April 7, according to a statement from Cranston Chief of Police Col. Michael J. Winquist. Members of the Rhode Island State Police, Norwich Police Department and New Haven Regional Task Force assisted in apprehending Cintron.

Cintron was arraigned Wednesday as a fugitive from justice and waived extradition, the chief states. Cranston detectives are scheduled to travel to Connecticut on Friday and transport Cintron – who was wanted on a charge of second-degree robbery – back to Rhode Island for arraignment.

Police had identified Cintron as their suspect earlier this week, and indicated that he has a lengthy criminal history and had recently been released from the Adult Correctional Institution.

He was sought in an armed robbery that occurred at the Shear Dimensions Hair Salon on Reservoir Avenue at approximately 9 a.m. on March 29, and in the subsequent carjacking of a vehicle occupied by a woman and her infant child on Knollwood Avenue. The woman and child were both unharmed.
