Man arrested in tie to car break-in in Waikiki

A man with no local address was arrested in Waikiki early this morning in connection with a car break-in reported last week at a building on Kuhio Avenue.

Police said a surveillance camera recorded images of a man breaking into a car about 6:30 a.m. May 29. The suspect fled before officers arrived, police said.

At about 12:50 this morning the owner of the car that had been broken into spotted the suspect in the building parking lot, police said. Officers were sent to the site and arrested the man on suspicion of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle.

During a search incidental to the man's arrest police reported finding seven counterfeit $100 bills, drugs and a glass pipe in the man's pants pockets.
