Big Island police have charged a 25-year-old Kailua-Kona man in connection with a burglary and an unrelated domestic dispute.
Ryan Jeffries-Hamar is being held at the Kealakehe police cellblock in lieu of $38,000 bail.
Police received a report of a burglary in progress at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday (May 16). The caller reported that the burglar removed items from a home on Kololia Street in Kailua-Kona, put the stolen items in the victim’s car and then drove away with the car and the stolen goods.
