Jewelry stolen from UH-Manoa faculty apartments

Advertiser Staff

Two faculty apartments at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa campus were broken in to Monday and thieves made off with thousands of dollars in jewelry, the latest in a series of crimes that have prompted school officials to increase security on campus.

Both break-ins occurred in the Kauiokahaloa Iki Faculty Housing

Condominiums on Lowrey Avenue.

Both were discovered by the occupants when they returned home Monday night.

Both homes were forcibly broken in to and the contents ransacked, according to school officials. In both cases it appears that only jewelry was taken.

Honolulu police have opened two first-degree burglary cases in connection with the thefts.
