WEST GREENWICH — An undercover operation allowed them to arrest two men and seize $300,000 and 15 kilos of cocaine in West Greenwich over the weekend, the Rhode Island State Police said yesterday.

Shots were fired as state police officers took two men into custody in the parking lot of the Super 8 Motel in West Greenwich, the state police said.
