A 23-year-old Hilo man faces two felony burglary charges.
A 23-year-old Hilo man faces two felony burglary charges.
Police arrested Kapono Labrador on Wednesday for a burglary Monday in which power tools were taken from a home on Ululani Street in Hilo after recovering stolen items from the burglary during the execution of a search warrant on the van Labrador was driving. Further investigation linked Labrador to a second burglary. In that case, electronics were stolen from a business on Ponahawai Street in Hilo.
At 11:35 a.m. Thursday, Labrador was charged with first-degree burglary and second-degree burglary. His bail was set at $35,000. He remained at the cellblock pending his initial court appearance Friday.
