No,it’s Laie. Never saw so many police in the area before, though.
Wow, such a detailed story.
So what’s the description of the suspect?
When I drove by at 5:10pm, Police were holding a local guy makai side of Kam Hwy about 5′-10″, dark crew cut hairstyle, bare chested with light tan board shorts, bare feet, no visible tattoos.
I counted more than 15 Police cars and one black unmarked car.
I’am glad police let us travel along Kamehameha Hwy since there wasn’t an alternation route.
What were you doing? Playing “I spy?”
Great job HPD, another crumb off the streets for good.
Good job HPD! Crack shot cop saved us taxpayers a lot of kala.
Chalk one up for the good guys. And we don’t even have to pay to house and feed him. Can’t beat that deal. I’d rather pay for a bunch of bullets than housing for these guys forever.
People should be aware that the police is not going to be messing around. To many bad things happens to police officers around the country.
Thank you HPD! Job well done!
good riddance
One less car thief that won’t be stealing anymore cars……
What a great way to start the year! One less loser running around, and we pay no room & board.
Thank you HPD
way to dump the trash HPD, get rid of the garbage in our community – `enough already with criminals getting away with` literal murd-r

Police needs more target practice !!!
The other male passenger wouldn’t have escaped.
