The robbery occurred at about 12:35 a.m. on Kamamalu Avenue when three males knocked on the door of a residence and claimed to be police officers, according to a Crimestoppers news release.

The second suspect is also described as a Polynesian male in his 30s, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 160 pounds, black hair, black pants and also wearing a “SHOPO” T-shirt.

The third is described as African-American in his 40s, 6 feet 2 inches tall, heavy build, black hair, black pants and wearing an “HPD” T-shirt.
