On August 16, 2017, between 3:30 a.m. and 4:20 a.m., in the 75-6000 block of Aliʻi Drive, an unidentified male entered into an occupied hotel room and removed several items including two cellular telephones, a pack of cigarettes, and a set of keys for a rental vehicle. The rental vehicle, a silver-colored 2017 Nissan Rogue, was then stolen from the hotel’s parking structure.

On August 23, 2017, the stolen vehicle was located, parked and unoccupied, in the Kealakehe area of Koʻokoʻolau Street and Ohelakai Place.
