The Hawaii Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance with identifying the suspects responsible for a burglary that occurred at a closed business establishment in the 65-1200 block of Kawaihae Road in Waimea.
On Aug. 23, between 10:57 p.m. and 11:05 p.m., two unidentified male parties were observed on video surveillance entering a locked window on the north side of the building on Kawaihae Road.
