Sometime between January 26 and January 27, an older-model Hitachi 6000 generator on wheels was removed from a base yard on Wailana Place in Honokaʻa. The generator was faded green with a black frame and its fuel gauge cover was sealed with silicone due to a previous leak.
Police ask anyone with information about this theft or the location of the generator to call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Officer Charles Martins at 775-5733.
Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call the islandwide Crime Stoppers number at 961-8300 and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Crime Stoppers is a volunteer program run by ordinary citizens who want to keep their community safe. Crime Stoppers doesn’t record calls or subscribe to caller ID. Crime Stoppers information is kept confidential.
