Police are investigating an alleged carjacking that occurred in Waianae.
Police said two North Shore residents, a 32-year-old man and 25-year-old woman, were sleeping in a white 2004 Honda Pilot SUV at the end of Farrington Highway about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The suspects fled in two vehicles, including the stolen Honda Pilot. A description of the other vehicle was not immediately available.
Police said the suspects and victims are strangers. No injuries were reported.

Police seek help locating woman
Hawaii island police are asking the public for help locating 67-year-old Deborah Wiley, who was last seen in the Honaunau-Napoopoo area on May 13.
She is described as 5-feet-3, 140 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a dark blue, long-sleeved shirt, jeans and gray-white tennis shoes. Police said she may also be wearing a camouflage hat.
Wiley is in need of medication and may be disoriented.
She was last seen on a private driveway on Hind Drive in Captain Cook around 5 p.m. and was headed toward the intersection of Napoopoo Road and Highway 11.
