Coventry Home Invasion: Three Charged

COVENTRY, RI—Three people have been arrested after a 4:30 a.m. home invasion. Police said the 911 call came early Thursday morning from a woman at 30 Parker St. She told police she was awakened by noises in her home and then realized a strange man was in the house. He allegedly pushed her out of his way and ran.

Police found a broken first-floor window, which was likely the way the robber or robbers entered. They also found blood around the window. In front of the house, they also found an abandoned car which they suspected was involved in the home invasion.

The woman was not hurt, police said. She told them prescription medicine, a laptop and jewelry were missing.

A search for suspects started, and police quickly focused on two people inside Dunkin’ Donuts, 24 Coventry Shopper’s Park. The two, Kenneth Delvalle, 28, of Southbridge, Mass., and his girlfriend Alisha Hathaway, 27, of Haverhill, Mass., were charged. Police allege Delvalle abandoned the car in front of 30 Parker St. A third person was also charged. Police allege Richard Smith, 30, of Coventry, was also involved in the home invasion. He was arrested later Thursday morning at his home.

Delvalle was charged with Breaking and Entering, Conspiracy; Simple Assault on a police officer; and Simple Assault on the woman resident. (The police officer was not injured, however).

Smith was charged with Breaking and Entering, and Conspiracy.

Hathaway was charged with conspiracy.

All three were arraigned in Kent County District Court.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call police.
