This time, CrimeStoppers was the victim.

Someone cut a large hole in the wall of the office of the Kona CrimeStoppers program in Kahalu'u, Kona, earlier this month, but apparently didn't steal anything, police said. CrimeStoppers is a program set up to allow tipsters to call in with information to help police solve crimes and recover stolen property.

Police said the burglary occurred sometime between July 14 and July 27 while the group's president was on vacation.

Anyone with information about the break-in is asked to call CrimeStoppers. The program can be reached at (808) 329-8181 in Kona or (808) 961-8300 in Hilo.

In addition, people may call Officer Ed Buyten at 326-4646, or the police nonemergency number, 935-3311.


WOMAN REPORTS SEX ASSAULTS

Police are investigating a report filed by a 24-year-old woman who said she was sexually assaulted by two men over a five-day period.

The woman said she went to a home on Wai'alae Avenue in Kaimuki on July 20, where she was sexually assaulted repeatedly throughout the evening by a man in his 20s.

The woman said that three days later, the man who assaulted her picked her up and was accompanied with a second man, also in his 20s, and that both men sexually assaulted her while driving around the island.

The woman told police she sought medical treatment on Tuesday.

She reported the incidents to police on Wednesday.


MAN, 42, ALLEGEDLY PUNCHED GIRLFRIEND

A 42-year-old man was arrested about 5 a.m. in Kailua on Wednesday after he allegedly punched his estranged girlfriend in the face, fracturing the woman's eye socket.

The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was treated for a broken orbital bone, police said.

Police found the suspect at his home and arrested him for suspicion of second-degree assault.


SUSPECT, 41, HAD THREATENED TO KILL

A 41-year-old man was arrested at a Ke'eaumoku Street address Wednesday in connection with an incident about two weeks ago in which a 31-year-old man reported being chased by the older man, who was swinging wooden martial arts weapons at him and threatening to kill him.

Police located a suspect Wednesday and arrested him for suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening.


MAN, 43, ARRESTED IN KNIFE THREAT
