Big Island police are seeking the public's help in locating a man wanted in connection with a home invasion robbery in a rural area of South Kona.

Police have issued an all-points bulletin for 44-year-old Harry Hose, who has no permanent address.

Shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to the reported home invasion at a home off Highway 11 between the 88- and 89-mile markers. Officers determined that a 15-year-old girl was home alone when a man confronted her, prevented her from leaving, and announced his intention to steal items from the property.

Police determined that five medical marijuana plants, ranging from 2 feet to 3 feet tall were removed from the property.

Witnesses saw a red truck containing four or five males near the home just before the incident. Shortly after the reported robbery, the same truck was seen leaving the home and traveling north on Highway 11.

Kona detectives assigned to the investigation are seeking Hose in connection with robbery and kidnapping charges. He is described as 5 foot 6, 200 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Police warn the public not to approach Hose, who is a convicted felon and considered dangerous. Instead, anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Detective Sharlotte Bird at (808) 326-4646, ext. 275 or the Police Department's nonemergency number at (808) 935-3311.

Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call CrimeStoppers at (808) 329-8181 in Kona or (808) 961-8300 in Hilo. All CrimeStoppers information is kept confidential.
