MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – Two teenagers are being charged with armed robbery after allegedly holding up the Domino’s Pizza parlor on West Main Road at One Mile Corner.
Middletown Police Department responded to Domino’s Pizza, located at 19 West Main Road, for an armed robbery just after 1 a.m. Monday morning. Domino’s employees stated that two males wearing all dark clothing and ski masks entered the business with a firearm. The suspects left on foot with no direction of travel mentioned with an unknown amount of money.
While searching for the suspects, MPD Officer Jason Ryan, who was monitoring his police scanner, heard a Portsmouth Police unit broadcast that they were trying to stop a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on East Main Road. He contacted dispatch and asked them to inform Portsmouth of the robbery. Portsmouth Police was able to stop the vehicle on East Main Road in front of St. Barnabas’s Church.
When the Portsmouth officers stopped the vehicle they noticed that the vehicles occupants matched the description of the robbery suspects. Officers also observed a ski mask, handgun and money from the robbery inside the vehicle. The suspects are Angel C. Vargas, 18 years old and the second suspect is a 17 year old male subject that had been employed at Domino’s. Both suspects reside in Providence.
The adult suspect will be charged with four counts of 1st Degree Robbery and will be arraigned today at the Second Division District Court in Newport.  The juvenile is going to be transported to Providence Family court where he will be arraigned on the same charges.
The incident remains under investigation.
