A community meeting focusing on agricultural theft in the Honomu area scheduled for Monday from 5-7 p.m. will take place online via Zoom instead of in person at the Honomu Gym as previously announced.

The event, hosted by Hawaii County Councilwoman Heather Kimball, will provide area residents an opportunity to ask questions, as well as share and discuss community concerns.

One of the main topics of discussion will be agricultural theft.

Officers from Hawai‘i Police Department’s Hilo Community Policing Section will provide updates on the department’s efforts to mitigate these crimes as well as ag theft prevention tips.

Those interested in attending can join the Zoom meeting using the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86770661312.
