WARWICK, RI – Warwick Police are investigating the theft of $4,000 worth of equipment from Greenwood Inn at 1350 Jefferson Boulevard at about 4 a.m. Feb. 20.
Officer Michael Bailey met with Greenwood Inn owner John Papa at 7:20 p.m. that day to gather details in the theft, according to the officer’s report.

Papa showed Bailey video security footage of the rear of the restaurant from earlier in the morning, about 3:59 a.m., when a white pickup with black wall extensions pulled in to the Inn’s parking lot.
