Police and federal agents this week arrested two men believed to be tied to a weapons trafficking ring run by career criminal Nicolas Nakano.

That makes seven arrests tied to Nakano, authorities said.

The Kaneohe men, ages 32 and 42, were arrested Wednesday afternoon in the quiet Kalaheo Hillside neighborhood. It’s the same neighborhood where officers raided a home Jan. 28.

Nakano’s group is allegedly involved in weapons trafficking, a law enforcement source said.

Police arrested the 32-year-old Kaneohe man on suspicion of third-degree promotion of drugs, a Class C felony, in front of 504 Iliwahi Loop.

The 42-year-old was arrested on suspicion of the same drug promotion charge and driving without a license.

Richard Manz, who was in his backyard Wednesday afternoon on Iliwahi Loop, said he heard a "ruckus" a couple houses away that sounded like "a half-dozen Kalaheo kids brawling outside my house."

Instead he saw police and a dozen federal agents apprehending suspects, he said.

Officers from police; the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Homeland Security Investigations; and the U.S. Marshals Service conducted a joint raid Jan. 28 at a Mokapu Boulevard home, searching for two targets, a source said.

Police arrested five people in the Kailua area. They include a 46-year-old man who lives at the Mokapu Boulevard house, on suspicion of three counts of felony drug promotion, and a 21-year-old Kaneohe man, on suspicion of felony drug promotion and resisting arrest.

They also arrested a 36-year-old Waianae man on suspicion of reckless driving, a 38-year-old Kapolei woman on several warrants and a 25-year-old Pearl City woman on suspicion of a felony drug offense and a warrant.

Police spokeswoman Michelle Yu said she could not comment on the arrests.

Other than the arrests on warrants and reckless driving, it is unclear whether any of the seven were charged.

Police on Jan. 23 arrested Nakano, 32, after he flipped his car while trying to flee in Kahala.

An Oahu grand jury indicted him Jan. 29 on four counts of first-degree attempted murder, use of a firearm to commit the crimes, two firearm possession charges and one count of drug possession stemming from the discovery of a bag of methamphetamine along his path of flight from the car.

A prosecutor said Nakano "fired a shot from a semiautomatic pistol at the officer’s head."
