Man allegedly attempts to pick up stolen license plates in stolen vehicle

Alexander Moore, 23, of Barrington, might want to look for alternative transportation. 

Moore was first arrested by Portsmouth police on March 27 for driving on a suspended license. The vehicle was towed to Mello's Towing yard in Portsmouth as procedure. 

Officers were later contacted by East Providence police and learned the vehicle's license plates were stolen. 

On Friday afternoon, Moore visited the towing yard in an attempt to pick up his vehicle. He parked at the Dunkin' Donuts on West Main Road and walked to Mello's Towing, police said. 

However, Moore previously never showed up in court on the original license charge. Police had issued a Second District Court bench warrant for failure to appear. 

The tow company had police orders not to release the vehicle, due to the stolen plates, and immediately contacted police. 

Officers soon learned the license plates weren't the only objects stolen. The vehicle parked at Dunkin' Donuts and operated by Moore was reported stolen out of East Providence. 

Moore was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and receiving stolen goods. He was later turned over to East Providence police.
