Police are investigating a robbery Thursday afternoon at a Kona business.
Police say one suspect, described as a local man with a dark complexion, entered the Keauhou Store in Holualoa shortly before 1 p.m. and forcibly removed an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register. The cashier, a 34-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries but declined medical treatment.
The suspect was described as in his mid-20s to mid-30s, 150-170 pounds, unshaven and with kinky dark hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a green T-shirt, slippers and a white cap with a dark brim.
Surveillance video shows the suspect and another man, who appears to be standing lookout in front of the store.
Detectives believe the primary suspect was also involved in a robbery in the Kaloko business area on Jan. 5.
The second suspect is described as Caucasian, in his mid 20s, with a slim build and a goatee. He was wearing a light green shirt with buttons, a light-colored baseball cap, dark shorts and shoes.
The men reportedly fled north on Highway 180 in a white Jeep Wrangler with a tan hard top. The Jeep is similar to the Sahara model.
Both men are considered dangerous and possibly armed. Police advise the public not to approach them. Police ask that anyone with information on their identity or whereabouts call Detective Walter Ah Mow at 326-4646, ext. 238, or the police non-emergency line at 935-3311.
