East Lyme — Police on Thursday arrested a man they said stole a bike from a residence and had a stolen firearm in his waistband.

Fifty-year-old Raymond Phillips, who was last known to be living in New London, was charged with third-degree larceny, stealing a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm while under the influence, carrying a pistol without a permit and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police said while investigating they located Phillips at Niantic Bay Bicycles on Methodist Street. As officers interviewed Phillips, employees warned them he had a gun in his waistband.

Police said they located a .22-caliber handgun in Phillips' waistband and determined it also was stolen.
