A man from Rhode Island is currently facing multiple charges following a recent police investigation into break-ins at businesses.
On January 22, 2025, the Cumberland Police Department received a report of a breaking and entering at a local boutique gift store called “With Heart and Soul” located at 3751 Mendon Road. The business owners informed the police that the incident took place in the early-morning hours, resulting in the theft of merchandise valued at over $150,000. After extensive investigations by Cumberland Police Detectives, they successfully identified the suspect involved in the breaking and entering. Earlier today, the authorities apprehended Troy Stone, a 39-year-old resident of Cumberland, at his residence on Mendon Road.
During the investigation, we discovered that Stone is suspected of committing burglaries at three other locations within the town: Khoury’s Tavern on Manville Hill Road, Cumberland Farms on Mendon Road, and One Stop Deli on Bound Road. Furthermore, we found out that Stone is wanted as a fugitive from justice in Connecticut. As of now, Stone will face charges of breaking and entering, as well as felony larceny, in this particular case, but there may be additional charges in the future.
Stone, who has a lengthy criminal history, has been arrested multiple times in both Massachusetts and Connecticut for offenses such as B&E, larceny, and other violent crimes.
A Justice of the Peace will arraign Stone later today.
Chief Benson advised, “This was an outstanding collective effort by all involved; specifically the Detectives of the Cumberland Police Department. The pursuit of this suspect had them traversing Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to build a case against our suspect and, again, with the assistance of the Flock camera network in concert with diligent and persistent effort, I’m proud to report that another felon is off of our streets and a small local business will see justice served.”
