Suspect in custody in alleged kidnap-rape

Authorities have in custody the suspect wanted in the alleged kidnap and rape of a woman early Sunday evening, according to Warwick police Lt. Jeffrey Enos.

Police said the woman was kidnapped from her car from a Quaker Lane Stop & Shop parking lot in Warwick and raped in Providence’s Roger Williams Park

The suspect is not in Warwick police custody, Enos said. It could not be determined at this time which department took him into custody, but Warwick and Providence police were the departments that had obtained arrest warrants for the man, identitified as Saul Pizzaro-Aviles, 27.

Yesterday Warwick Detective Capt. Michael Babula identified the suspect as Pizzarro-Aviles, whose last known address was in Providence. Babula said the Warwick warrant charges Pizzarro-Aviles with kidnapping and first-degree robbery, and the Providence warrant charges him with first-degree sexual assault.

Police said the incident began shortly after 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of a Super Stop & Shop. They released stills from a store security camera of a man leaving the store.
