A man was arrested after being found in a stolen, brand-new truck on Monday evening, police said.
Between Saturday and Monday someone broke into a house on Hale Nani Street in Hilo and stole electronics, personal information and keys to the truck.
The 2015 four-door Nissan Frontier pickup truck still had the paper license plates on it, police said, and was taken from the home.
On Monday evening, a South Hilo officer saw the truck on Kumukoa Street and arrested the driver, Delvionte Cooper, 18, of Hilo.
After an investigation police charged him with first-degree burglary, first-degree theft, second-degree theft, unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, unauthorized possession of confidential information and driving without a license. His bail was set at $16,500.
He remained at the cellblock awaiting his initial court appearance Thursday.
