Police said a male suspect entered the bank and demanded money. He then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money taken from the establishment.

Approximately three hours later, a robbery occurred at a jewelry store in the 200 block of Merchant Street in downtown Honolulu.
Police said a male suspect brandished a firearm, took several Hawaiian bracelets from the store and fled the scene.
The bandit was described as having a stocky build and wearing a gray and black hoodie, bucket hat, blue jeans and a mask at the time of the robbery.
It’s not immediately known whether the two cases are related. Police said there are no arrests as of this morning.
