POLICE BEAT
Woman arrested for armed robbery

Advertiser Staff

A 32-year-old 'Ahuimanu woman was arrested as a suspect in the armed robbery yesterday of two women in Waikiki.

The women, ages 26 and 32, told police the suspect approached them about 1:20 p.m. in front of 2299 Kuhio Ave., threatened to shoot them and demanded money.

Police said no losses or injuries were reported by the two victims.

Police arrested the suspect for suspicion of two counts each of first-degree robbery and first-degree terroristic threatening.



Man arrested for suspicion of forgery

A 23-year-old man was arrested at Makiki District Park last night for suspicion of forgery after a police officer found the man carrying what appeared to be counterfeit ID cards.

Police said the officer began to question the man about 10:40 p.m. after finding him in Makiki Park after it had closed.

The officer asked the man for his identification and was given a California driver's license, which did not appear to be authentic.

The officer asked police dispatchers to check on the license and they determined the license was issued to someone having a different name than the one the suspect was using.

The man was arrested for suspicion of second-degree forgery. During a search incidental to his arrest, police reported finding a second ID card that also appeared to be counterfeit and arrested the man a second time for suspicion of forgery.
