Police are investigating a reported home invasion early Thursday in a Kailua-Kona apartment.

In response to a 1:40 a.m. call, Kona Patrol officers were dispatched to the 75-5800 block of Kahakai Road, where a 62-year-old woman reported that she woke up to find an unknown man in her apartment asking for money. When the woman tried to get away, the intruder shoved her to the floor and restrained her. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The man’s image was captured on a surveillance camera. He’s described as Caucasian, about 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds with light-brown hair.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect or who has any information is asked to call the police non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 961-8300.
