Hawaii County police checked secondhand dealers after a Hilo burglary and found some of the stolen items, leading to charges Tuesday against a 26-year-old man for breaking into the home last week.

Scottie I.K. Yanagawa of Hilo was charged with first-degree burglary and second-degree theft. His bail was set at $35,000.

At 5:16 p.m. May 3, a 38-year-old Hilo woman reported that her home in the upper Ainaola Drive area had been entered and several items had been removed.

Police received information that some of the items were sold to secondhand dealers in the Hilo area. Police were able to recover some of the stolen property, which led to Yanagawa’s arrest.
