Hawaiʻi Island police are asking the public to help them identify three suspects involved in a recent burglary that occurred in the Kalapana-Kaimū area.
On July 9, officers responded to an alarm at a business in Kalapana and met with the owner of the store who reported that unknown suspects used a truck to push in the door and steal multiple bottles of alcohol, other miscellaneous items, and an undisclosed amount of US currency. The front cab of the truck was wrapped in a gray tarp and the back bed was wrapped in a blue tarp concealing its description. The suspects were fully covered with long sleeved shirts, pants, gloves, and material completely covering their face and head. Suspect #1 is described as having a slender build wearing dark colored pants, black hood, and a green long-sleeved shirt with the words “MIDTOWN” on the back. Suspect #2 is described as having a small build wearing camouflage pants, black sweater, and black hood. Suspect #3 is described as having a medium build wearing gray pants, orange long sleeved shirt, and a black hood. Police ask anyone with any information about this case or the identity of the people depicted, to call Puna Community Policing Officer Eddie Cardines at (808) 935-3311.
