Advertiser Staff

A 19-year-old man was arrested late yesterday morning after a 65-year-old man in 'Ewa Beach reported finding the younger man in his car trying to "hot wire" it.

Police said the younger man, also from 'Ewa Beach, ran from the scene but was detained nearby and held until police officers arrived to arrest him about 11 a.m. on attempted unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle. Police did not say who detained the man.
