WARWICK, R.I. — Warwick Police were called to Seasons Corner Market, 2128 Elmwood Ave., at 10:30 p.m. Monday for a car theft in progress, then alerted to a robbery in progress at Valero Gas, 885 Post Road, later arresting a 21-year-old man and charging him in the related crimes.

Officers learned a 1997 Toyota Corolla had been stolen from the gas pump area at the Seasons Corner Market while left unattended, with the keys in the vehicle, as the owner went inside to pay for gas, according to Warwick Police.
