A Hilo man has been charged with burglary and theft for allegedly stealing items from a Hilo home in February.
On Feb. 25, a 27-year-old Hilo man reported he had video surveillance of the suspect removing tools from his attached carport.
On Wednesday, South Hilo Patrol officers located and arrested the suspect, Mitchell Kihara, 30, and held him to the Hilo police cellblock while detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigations Section continued the investigation.
This morning, detectives charged Kihara with first-degree burglary and third-degree theft. His bail was set at $5,500.
He remains at the cellblock pending his initial court appearance scheduled for Monday.
