When workers arrived in the morning, the wheels were gone and the car had been placed on blocks. Video surveillance showed a small dark-colored pickup truck pull into the lot just after 1 a.m. Two men removed the wheels, put them in the back of the truck and left.

Sunday, Dec. 31

2:35 p.m. – An East Greenwich man, 55, was stopped after police saw he was driving without a front license plate. Police did routine checks and checks showed that the car make and model did not match with the registration. The operator of the car told police that he didn’t have a registration because he was selling the car and he also showed police the car was just purchased, the note was only signed by him and the note was not notarized. Police questioned him about how long he had the wrong plate on the car and he told them about a month, because he wasn’t able to get his own registration due to fines. Police towed the vehicle and seized the license plate. He was issued a citation for improper use of registration.
