Responding officers found a 36-year-old Keaʻau man, Raylad Brown, and three women, 37-year old Linda Kamahele of Hilo, 38-year old Lorilei Brown of Keaʻau and 39-year old Jeraldine Brown of Keaʻau, with a pickup truck containing items from the property and the house.
All four were arrested and taken to the Hilo police cellblock.
