Hawaii Island police are asking for the public’s help in providing information about the theft of a generator in January.

Sometime between Jan. 26-27, an older-model Hitachi 6000 generator on wheels was removed from a base yard on Wailana Place in Honokaa. The generator was faded green with a black frame and its fuel gauge cover was sealed with silicone because of a previous leak.

Anyone with information about this theft or the location of the generator should call the department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Officer Charles Martins at 775-5733.

Those who prefer to remain anonymous may call the islandwide Crime Stoppers number at 961-8300 and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
