Wheels Stolen From Nurse's Car In North Providence: Report
Nurse Karen Arpin finished her overnight shift at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital to discover that her vehicle no longer had rims or tires.
NORTH PROVIDENCE, RI — North Providence police are investigating after a nurse at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital finished her overnight shift only to discover that her vehicle was up on blocks with the rims and tires missing.
Karen Arpin told ABC6 WLNE-TV that a co-worker came up to her at about 6:30 a.m., asked her what type of car she had, and informed her of the theft. Arpin said she parks her car where she always does, and can’t understand why anyone would target a hospital parking lot.
“It could have been anyone working really hard or someone who is really, really sick that they took advantage of,” Arpin said.
