Police searching for 3rd suspect in Kahala carjacking case

Honolulu police arrested two suspects and are looking for a third in connection with a carjacking in the Kahala area last week.

The 35-year-old victim told police he was in his vehicle at 8:30 p.m. July 27 when he was approached by two men, one brandishing a firearm, and a female. The trio reportedly took control of the victim’s vehicle and at some point forced him into the trunk of his car.

They drove around for several hours before releasing the victim at about 3:30 a.m. Friday. They then fled with his vehicle and personal items, according to police.

The victim reported the incident to police Tuesday, and on Wednesday officers from the District 3 Crime Reduction Unit located the victim’s vehicle, which was occupied by a 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman.

Police arrested the two on suspicion of second-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and following further investigation, first-degree kidnapping and robbery as well.

The third suspect remains on the loose. The police investigation is ongoing.
