Holdup reported in Hawai'i Kai

Police today were checking on a report filed by two men and two women who said they were ordered out of their car at gunpoint about 4:30 a.m. on Kuamauna Street in Hawai'i Kai.

A man believed to be a suspect in the case was stopped a short time later and a shotgun was taken from his car, police said.

No additional information was available this morning.


Man, 37, suspect in forgery case

Police yesterday arrested a 37-year-old man who allegedly cashed a forged check at Central Pacific Bank's main branch in downtown Honolulu on Oct. 7.

Police said the man first tried to cash the $300 check, drawn on the account of a 45-year-old woman, at the Central Pacific branch at the Daiei store on Kaheka Street but failed because the teller could not get authorization from the account owner.

He then successfully cashed the stolen check at the bank's main branch, police said. Police were able to match the man's fingerprints to one found on the check, and he also was identified as having cashed the check via a photographic lineup.

Police went to the man's home and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree forgery.
