Police arrested a man and a woman Wednesday after a report of a burglary in progress.

Shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday, concerned citizens saw suspicious activity at a Pahoa home on Oneloa Street, police said in a written statement. They confronted a man and woman who were reportedly loading items into a car, then called police.

Officers arrested 31-year-old Naomi R. Fenenbock of Pahoa and 37-year-old Blane A. Gracida of Hilo at 10:10 a.m.. The two were taken to the Hilo police cellblock while detectives investigated.

At 9 p.m. Thursday, detectives charged them both with first-degree burglary and set their bail at $25,000 each. They remained at the cellblock until their initial court appearance today.
