Burglar must serve five-year sentence for series of thefts

A Lahaina man who said he stole to buy drugs and food was sentenced Friday to a five-year prison term for a series of burglaries of West Maui visitor accommodations last year.

As a repeat offender with prior burglary, theft and drug convictions, Raymond Fauhiva, 23, must serve all five years, the Maui News reported.

The burglaries occurred last August and September at locations along Lower Honoapi'ilani Road, including the Napili Kai Beach Resort and Outrigger Maui El Dorado. The intruder entered the units while people inside were sleeping.
