A 46-year-old man turned himself in to police today in connection with the burglary of his neighbor’s home on the North Shore.

Police said about 8 p.m. yesterday a man at 59-420 Pupukea Road opened the door after hearing yelling outside. He saw one man with his neighbor.

The neighbor’s accomplice, 40-year-old Waialua man, struck the victim with a pipe, police said. When the victim ran back into his home, the man smashed the window, went in, and attacked the victim again, police said. The neighbor then entered the home.
