Honolulu police detectives were looking for two men who attempted to rob the Valley Market store in Palolo.
Police were able to retrieve video of both suspects entering the store. The two men entered the market at about 8 p.m. Sunday, with one brandishing a black handgun and demanding money, police said. The second suspect went to the back of the store and tried to damage a game machine. “An alarm was activated and both males fled on foot in an unknown direction,” police said.
South Carolina man rescued at China Walls
A 29-year-old visitor from South Carolina was in serious condition after being rescued Thursday in 4- to 6-foot surf at China Walls in the Portlock area, according to Honolulu Emergency Medical Services.
The male visitor, who was exhausted and had swallowed ocean water, was with another swimmer, and the two were treading water about 200 yards offshore at 12:40 p.m. when an Ocean Safety lifeguard swam out with his bodyboard to assist them.
The Honolulu Fire Department transported the visitor on a rescue watercraft to Maunalua Bay. He was treated by Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and transported to an emergency room. The second swimmer required no medical assistance, EMS said.
