The Hawaiʻi Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance with identifying the suspects responsible for a burglary that occurred at a closed business establishment in the 65-1200 block of Kawaihae Road in Kamuela.
On (August 23) between 10:57 p.m. and 11:05 p.m., two unidentified male parties were observed on video surveillance entering a locked window on the north side of the building on Kawaihae Road. Once in the establishment, the suspects located and removed a black colored safe that was bolted to the floor and contained an undisclosed amount of cash. Suspects then left the establishment taking the safe with them.
