Information sought in Ka'u home-invasion robbery

Advertiser Staff

Ka'u patrol officers have arrested two Ka'u men, ages 21 and 26, in connection with a home-invasion robbery on May 5 in the Discovery Harbour subdivision.

The men are being held at the Kona police station cellblock pending charges.

The victim reported that a masked man entered his home with a knife and forced him to the floor before removing items from the house.

"This incident is not typical of this area," said Lt. Robert Wagner of the Area II Criminal Investigations Section. "It is believed to be an isolated incident."

Police believe one of the suspects used a residential telephone in the area just after the break-in. They ask anyone with information about the call or any other information about the case to call Detective Greg Yamada at (808) 326-4646, ext. 228, Detective Regino Saludares at (808) 326-4646, ext. 277, 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.
