Hawaii Island Police are asking for public assistance in identifying a burglary suspect.

On May 30, South Kohala Patrol Officers responded to a burglary alarm at a Kamuela convenience store and discovered a broken glass window.  During the course of their investigation, they learned that several“E-cigarettes” had been stolen.  Upon reviewing video footage, the suspect can be seen entering the parking lot on a blue bicycle.  Shortly after arriving, the suspect, while clenching a hammer in their left hand is seen smashing the window.  The suspect then enters the store through the broken window, removes the items from a display, exits through the broken window, then flees on the bicycle toward Mamalahoa Highway.

The suspect, who is approximately 5-feet tall and 100 pounds, with brown hair, is described as wearing a green head cover, dark-colored face covering, a black long-sleeved sweater, long black pants, black shoes, dark-colored gloves, while carrying a black back pack.

Police ask anyone with information to call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at (808) 935-3311 or email Officer Jessica Cook at Jessica.cook@hawaiicounty.gov.
