Police arrested three people on suspicion of stealing the purse of a woman seated in a vehicle last night in Wai'anae.

Two men, ages 43 and 27, and a woman, 26, were booked on suspicion of unauthorized entry into a vehicle. According to police, officers had to use a less-than-lethal shotgun round to arrest one of the three people.

Police were called to investigate a fight at an undisclosed Wai'anae location at 9:55 p.m. and were told by a woman, 26, that one of the three people had struck her and had taken her purse.
