KAILUA-KONA — Hawaii police is seeking the public’s help in identifying a man and woman whose images were captured on a surveillance camera in connection with a theft in Kona a few months ago.

Approximately 10:50 p.m. on Feb. 22, a male suspect removed a container of coins from a residence on Hualalai Road, according to authorities Tuesday. Later that evening, an unidentified white female and an unidentified local male were seen with the container of coins using a coin machine at a store in Kailua-Kona.

On Tuesday, police released a surveillance photo of the alleged suspects.

Police ask anyone who knows the identity of the individuals in the photo or anything else about this case to call the police department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 or contact Officer Jacob Obermiller at 326-4646, ext. 253.

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.
