A Captain Cook woman already in police custody was charged Thursday with the theft of a car from Kealakekua.

The Acura Legend sedan was taken from Mamalahoa Bypass Road on Sept. 12.

Police investigation led to the arrest Wednesday afternoon of 22-year-old Randi-Keli Banagan, who was already in the Kona cellblock on a contempt of court charge.

Detectives charged her today with unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle. Her bail was set at $2,000.

She remains at the cellblock pending her court appearance scheduled for Friday.
