The man was arrested at 3 p.m. at Hawaii Sea Life Park.
Crime Reduction Unit officers from the East Honolulu police district yesterday arrested a man, 24, at his Hawai'i Kai home in connection with the same investigation.
Both men are booked for first-degree robbery and burglary.
The man arrested today is also being held at the main police station cellblock on two outstanting warrants totalling $800.
Police said two men armed with weapons allegedly forced their way into a Hawai'i Kai home at 7:30 p.m. on June 3, threatened harm to a 20-year-old male resident and ordered him to show them the location of a safe in the house.
The suspects fled in the 24-year-old man's vehicle.
On Aug. 30, the victim was able to identify the two suspects in a photo lineup presented by investigators.
Charges are pending.
