Hawai‘i Island police are investigating a burglary at a Hilo home that was undergoing termite fumigation between August 19–20, 2025.

The homeowner reported that two rifles, a black DPMS AR-15 and a camouflage-print CVA V2 muzzleloader, were taken from a storage room while the home was tented.

Police remind homeowners that when preparing for fumigation, all cash, jewelry, firearms, and other valuables should be removed from the residence beforehand and returned only when the home can be properly secured.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Amy Omaya of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section at (808) 961-2381 or via email at amy.omaya@hawaiipolice.gov.
