A pair of alleged “grandparent scammers” have been arrested by Warwick Police.

According to a Warwick Police press release, on March 7, a victim reported to the department they were the victims of a scam.

“Officer Chretien identified this scam as ongoing and brought Detectives in to assist,” according to WPD. “A plan was formulated to attempt a controlled delivery to the suspect on March 8 … at the victim’s residence.”

On the morning of March 8, “members of the Warwick Police Department’s Night Detectives, Special Operations Group, Financial Crimes, and Criminal Investigations units began working with the victims to ensure the suspect was still planning on receiving the victim’s money,” according to police.

Around 2 p.m., Warwick Police Detectives inside the home spotted “a subject walking up to the residence matching the description of a suspect from a similar scam that had just been reported in Coventry.”

Following the delivery, Warwick Police “Detectives Arico and Sarkisian took the subject into custody after a brief foot pursuit,” according to police. “Detectives conducting surveillance apprehended the suspected getaway driver. Both suspects were taken into custody for Obtaining Property Under False Pretenses … and Conspiracy-Felony.”

Police identified the suspects as Jason Rhodes, 34, of Flushing, New York (the alleged suspect at the residence) and Robert Munoz, 29, of Miami, Florida (the alleged getaway driver).

“As part of the investigation, a court-authorized search warrant for a Warwick hotel room registered in Munoz’s name was executed,” according to Warwick Police. “Detectives seized evidence connecting the suspects to other ‘grandparent scams’ as well as a large sum of US currency. This remains an active investigation. Detectives are looking at other evidence to try to locate other victims, as this scam is being reported throughout Rhode Island.”

Warwick Police urge anyone who believes they may have been the victim “of this or a similar scam to contact their respective police department.
