Providence, RI- On October 19, 2017 Providence Police Detectives responded to 539
Union Avenue in search of a subject identified as Julio Vega, age 34, who was wanted
by police for several breaking and entering incidents in the Silver Lake area of the
City. PPD Detective Casey Moffett obtained surveillance video from a recent B&E on
Plainfield Street identifying Vega as the subject responsible and proceeded to draft
a warrant for his arrest.
Upon arrival to Union Avenue, detectives spoke to Vega’s girlfriend who stated to
police that she did not know where the subject was located. Detectives then
contacted Officer Louis Salinaro and K-9 Gero to conduct a search for Vega. K-9 Gero
successfully located Vega hiding in the basement of the home and he was immediately
taken into police custody. During a recorded interview with detectives, police
determined that Vega was responsible for at least three B&E’s that have recently
occurred. He was charged with three counts of breaking and entering as well as three
outstanding warrants.
