KAILUA-KONA — Police have charged a 24-year-old Pahoa man with multiple crimes, mostly financial in nature, following his arrest last week.
After conferring with prosecutors Friday, detectives charged Tre Avilla-Alconcel with one count of second degree forgery, two counts of third degree forgery, one count of third degree identity theft, 30 counts of unauthorized possession of confidential information, 25 counts of credit card theft, one count of third degree attempted theft, two counts of third degree promoting a dangerous drug and two counts of prohibited acts related to drug paraphernalia.
Total bail for Avilla-Alconcel was set at $121,000.
He remains in the police cellblock and made his initial court appearance Tuesday morning.
Police responded to a business on Kanoelehua Avenue last Wednesday after receiving a report of a female attempting to cash a stolen check. The female was taken into custody and officers arrested Avilla-Alconcel a short time later, following his identification as an accomplice.
Detectives were able to recover several stolen credit cards after a search of Avilla-Alconcel’s vehicle during the execution of a search warrant.
The 25-year-old Hilo female was questioned and released pending investigation.
