Hawai‘i Island police are seeking information regarding a series of fraudulent transactions that occurred at a number of retail stores in Kailua-Kona this summer.

On the morning of August 16, the victim reported that they had lost their credit card at a big-box store in Hilo, and shortly thereafter received fraud alerts from their bank regarding purchases made at multiple stores in the Kailua-Kona area.

Police have been reviewing video surveillance footage gathered from the different stores, matching it to the times of the reported purchases.

A person linked to one or more of these transactions was seen on the footage wearing a green-colored t-shirt, dark-colored shorts, dark sunglasses, and a light-colored visor.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact South Hilo Patrol Officer Sheldon Adviento at (808) 935-3311, or via email at Sheldon.Adviento@hawaiicounty.gov.
