Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a robbery the evening of Jan. 5 at a business in the Kaloko Business Center V on Kamanu Street in Kailua-Kona.
The suspect’s image was captured on a surveillance camera. The surveillance video also shows vehicles passing the shopping center at the time the suspect fled into the night.
The man in the surveillance photo allegedly grabbed scissors from a countertop in the business, confronted the shop owner, a 63-year-old woman, then opened the cash register and removed money. The suspect was last seen running north on Kamanu Street.
The suspect is described as in his late 20s to early 30s, approximately 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, with a dark complexion, a full-groomed beard without a mustache, and short black hair. He was last seen wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, a black baseball cap with an unknown design on the front, and a large gold watch on his left wrist.
Police are also interested in speaking with a possible witness who had entered into the shop while the suspect was present but left prior to the robbery. The witness is described as a Caucasian male in his mid-20s.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Detective Myra Iwamoto at 326-4646, ext. 281, or the police nonemergency line at 935-3311.
