Police are crediting the public for identifying a 23-year-old Mililani man caught on home surveillance video burglarizing a Liliha house.
During a news conference Tuesday, Maj. Richard Robinson thanked the public for numerous tips that assisted police in catching the suspect.
Police arrested Corey Faulkner at his home two days after the break-in, and he was later charged with first-degree burglary. He made his initial appearance in court Monday.
His bail was confirmed Tuesday at $20,000, and he is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.
Faulkner was out on $150 cash bond for a fourth-degree theft case in which he pleaded not guilty March 11.
On April 3 a man was caught on home video surveillance cameras initially knocking on the second-story door of a house on Kauai Street. When no one came to the door, he went down the stairs and within minutes removed the screen and louvers of a first-floor window at the foot of the stairs.
The man was shown removing the jalousies, stopping every few moments, checking to see whether anyone had arrived at the house.
The man was caught on another camera at the front of the house as he backed up a white Toyota Tacoma four-door pickup truck into the carport, then loaded what appeared to be a flat-screen TV into the back seat.
Honolulu Police Department officials say social media has also been helpful, and are encouraging the public to continue to assist them with tips and to follow the department on Facebook and Twitter.
