Police investigate pair of armed robberies in Ewa Beach
Honolulu police are investigating two alleged armed robberies in Ewa Beach Sunday night.
Police said a 40-year-old man was at a bus stop in the 91-800 block of Fort Weaver Road when two masked male suspects approached him, one of which brandished a gun and demanded property at about 10 p.m.
When the victim handed the suspect his wallet, the other suspect yanked a chain off of the victim’s neck, police said. Both suspects then fled on foot.
No injuries were reported.
One of the suspects was wearing a white tank top and black shorts and the other was wearing a white shirt and brown shorts at the time of the robbery.
About an hour-and-a-half later, two men and two women in their early 20s were at a gathering in a garage in the 91-900 block of Kalapu Street when two masked suspects with handguns climbed a chain-link gate and demanded property, police said. They fled on foot with jewelry taken from the victims.
