2 arrested in purse snatching at Hawaii island restaurant
Hawaii island police arrested two people in connection with a purse-snatching incident at a Waimea restaurant Friday.
According to police, a 64-year-old Paauilo woman was at a shopping center restaurant when a man grabbed her purse from the table and fled in a waiting SUV operated by a woman.
The victim attempted to stop the vehicle by grabbing the driver-side mirror and suffered minor injuries when the vehicle drove away and she fell to the ground, police said.
Witnesses provided police with the license plate number of the SUV. Police subsequently located the vehicle as it pulled into a parking lot off of Highway 190 and arrested the female driver and two male passengers.
On Sunday, police charged Linda Chong Tim-Castro, 38, of Kailua-Kona with reckless endangering, theft, theft/forgery of a credit card and unauthorized possession of confidential information. Her bail was set at $10,500.
Passenger Gary Paulaau, 35, of Kailua-Kona, was charged with theft, theft/forgery of a credit card, unauthorized possession of personal confidential information, promoting a dangerous drug, possessing drug paraphernalia and contempt of court. His bail was set at $50,200.

Cut off their hands, cut off their feet and toss them into the ocean.
And cut-off their tongues.
meth heads?
What happened to the other man that was in the vehicle?
Too ugly to post his picture or not implicated in the crime.
Couldn’t be much uglier than these two thugs.
Wow I have not seen such UGLY looking fools in a long time. Really scary to be born looking like them.
Isn’t she kinda old to be a getaway driver? And him….was he gonna buy a new eye?
Now he’s going to get a new eye while incarcerated. Taxpayers lose money again.
Yes, it would be very scary to be born ugly. Wonder if it would have any effect on you? Maybe we should all have to provide proof that we’re not ugly, before we can post any comments. You know, so we know if there are any ugly people among us?
WoW, low bail. Both will be out on the streets real soon if not already.
They should be sent to Guantanamo.
That’s how the judges keep their job security. Catch and release. Recycling criminals/hearings.

Look, she’s enjoying it; this is so much fun!
