A Warwick man is facing charges after he allegedly stole a backhoe belonging to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. The Rhode Island Attorney General's office has charged 59-year-old Peter Dambruoso with one count of possession of a stolen vehicle and one count of driving without a valid license. The charges are linked to an incident in January 2023, where Dambruoso is accused of stealing a 1998 John Deer backhoe from a facility in Johnston. Prosecutors allege that a Providence Department of Public Works employee witnessed Dambruoso operating the backhoe with state plates on Ernest Street in Providence.
