A copper thief’s late-night spree has come to a cr A copper thief’s late-night spree has come to a crashing halt. Cops say Luther Parente, 42, was busted after allegedly breaking into vacant Little Compton homes and ripping out copper piping — leaving behind flooded basements and costly damage. Parente is now facing felony breaking and entering and receiving stolen goods, and was already wanted on two Superior Court bench warrants for skipping court on unrelated charges. Detectives say the break-ins followed a pattern: empty homes, overnight entries, and copper pipes sliced from basement walls. The aftermath? Significant water damage as pipes were torn out, according to police. The months-long investigation got its big break through DNA. Authorities say evidence collected from a July 2025 incident was sent to the Rhode Island Department of Health — and came back a match to Parente. Police moved quickly, securing a warrant and taking him into custody Monday. Parente was arraigned and is now being held without bail at the ACI as a bail violator. His next court date is set for March 31. Cops warn the case may not be over — more charges and arrests could be coming as the investigation continues. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Brendan McKinnon at (401) 635-2311 #littlecompton #newportbuzz
