Big Island police are looking for a man who may be a witness to a car break-in at the Kona Wal-Mart on January 9.

The witness may have been driving a white four-door sedan. He is described as Caucasian, between 50 and 60 years old, between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10, about 190-230 pounds with a mustache. He was wearing a bluish-purple shirt, light blue surf shorts, a black hat, dark reading glasses and black Crocs brand shoes.
