Roki Assists with South Kingstown Robbery

At about 8:53 p.m. Tuesday, Narragansett Police’s K9 unit Roki assisted with a search for robbery suspects in South Kingstown.

According to police, they received a request for Roki’s help after a robbery at Potter’s Gas Station on Main Street in South Kingstown. South Kingstown police told Narragansett police that they had received a report of two men, in masks and carrying handguns, robbing the store.

Police said that Roki appeared to track from the store on Main Street, behind a nearby credit union, and toward Prospect Court before losing the scent. According to police, there did appear to be fresh tire tracks and acceleration marks in mud and grass on Prospect Court, so the scene was searched for evidence.

Roki’s handler is Narragansett patrolman Matthew Riley. WPRI also had an interview with an employee from the gas station here. As of Thursday, an arrest had not yet been made.
