Big Island police seek help in sex assault case

Advertiser Staff

Big Island police need the public's help in finding a suspect in a sex assault case whom they consider armed and dangersous.

Hauoli "Ikaika" Silva, 19, a frequent visitor to the Puna area, is wanted in connection of a sexual assault of a juvenile female, according to Big Island police detective Benton Bolos of the East Hawai'i Criminal Investigation Division. Silva may be employed in the south Kohala area.

Because he considered dangerous, police do not want the public approach or attempt to catch Silva, the detective said. If Silva is spotted, Bolos said to call him at (808) 961-8883 or (808) 935-3311.

Silva is 5-foot-11 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He has brown eyes and short black hair.
