Big Island police are asking the public for help locating an unidentified man wanted in an attempted bank robbery, a Hilo man wanted on warrants and for questioning, and a Kailua-Kona man wanted for abuse.
Just before 6 p.m. Jan. 10, an unidentified man entered the Territorial Savings Bank branch on Makaala Street in Hilo and produced a note demanding money, according to the Hawaii County Police Department. He then left the bank without any money and was last seen running toward Pohaku Street.
The man was described as Caucasian, in his mid-to-late 20s, about 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 185 to 200 pounds with short wavy black hair and acne, according to police. He was wearing jeans, a blue-and-black striped pullover, and black shoes with red laces.
Keahi Calvin Sale, 25, is wanted on no-bail warrants and for questioning in unrelated investigations. Sale is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 155 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has no permanent address but frequents the Hilo area. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Moala Kuahuia Kaupu, 21, of Kailua-Kona is wanted for abuse of a family/household member. Kaupu is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds with brown eyes and short curly black hair, according to police. His ears are pierced and he has a scripture tattoo on an inner forearm.
