Mililani woman alleged car thief

Police yesterday arrested an 18-year-old Mililani woman on suspicion of car theft.

The car's owner, a Honolulu woman, drove the car to a Wai'anae area beach park and discovered it was missing when she returned from the beach, police said.

Patrol officers later found a car matching the stolen car's description parked in a handicapped parking stall and checked the car's license plate number.

After confirming the car was the one that had been reported stolen, officers waited and watched as a woman got into the car and began to drive away. Police ordered the woman to pull over and arrested her on suspicion of car theft.
